      abstract     = {The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next
                      ground-based γ-ray observatory in the TeV γ-ray spectral
                      region operating with the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov
                      Technique. It is based on almost 70 telescopes of different
                      class diameters - LST, MST and SST of 23, 12, and 4 m,
                      respectively - to be installed in two sites in the two
                      hemispheres (at La Palma, Canary Islands, and near Paranal,
                      Chile). Several thousands of reflecting mirror tiles larger
                      than 1 m$^2$ will be produced for realizing the segmented
                      primary mirrors of a so large number of telescopes. Almost
                      in parallel, the ASTRI Mini-Array (MA) is being implemented
                      in Tenerife (Canary Islands), composed of nine 4 m diameter
                      dual-mirror Cherenkov telescopes (very similar to the SSTs).
                      We completed the mirror production for all nine telescopes
                      of the ASTRI MA and two MST telescopes (400 segments in
                      total) using the cold glass slumping replication technology.
                      The results related to the quality achieved with a so
                      large-scale production are presented, also discussing the
                      adopted testing methods and approaches. They will be very
                      useful for the adoption and optimization of the quality
                      assurance process for the huge production (almost 3000 m2 of
                      reflecting surface) of the MST and SST CTA telescopes.},
