Separate page

This general V & V page was created Sept 7, 2007 and Verification and Validation (software) was given a separate page with the software limitation. Rlsheehan 23:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why have some of the content been moped up from this version ???

Merge of V&V Section from Formal verification#Validation and Verification

I agree that V&V does not belong in Formal verification except, perhaps, by reference. There is a useful and common description of V&V in that section, however, that would fit nicely into Verification and Validation. Softtest123 (talk) 14:46, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry founded http://www.hhs.gov/web/policies/webpolicies/logopolicies/#symbol

However, I'm confused that why government logos do not coexist with their department logos at the offical department home page.

Verification and validation V & V (from Software Quality perspective)

== Verification versus Validation ==

  Verification Vs Validation

Verification ensures that the system (software, hardware, documentation, and personnel) complies with an organization’s standards and processes, relying on review or non-executable methods.

Validation physically ensures that the system operates according to plan by executing the system functions through a series of tests that can be observed and evaluated.

Verification answers the question, “Did we build the right system?” while validations addresses, “Did we build the system right?”

Keep in mind that verification and validation techniques can be applied to every element of the computerized system. You’ll find these techniques in publications dealing with the design and implementation of user manuals and training courses, as well as in industry publications.

IEEE definitions of Verification and Validation

Contrary to the above definitions of "Validation vs. Verification", IEEE defines them as such:

Validation : "Confirmation by examination and provisions of objective evidence that the particular requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled." i.e. is it the right design? does the product meet the needs of the customer?

Verification : "Confirmation by examination and provisions of objective evidence that specified requirements have been fulfilled." i.e. is the design right? does it work as specifed?

Thus, It is clear that you can perfectly verify what turns out to be an invalid design... it is hinged in the requirements definition.

High-Level Flow of Validation and Verification

 step 1. create a high-level behavioral model to validate a customer's reqmts.
 step 2. from that model one extracts reqmts for the design.
 step 3. verify the reqmts for the design against the previously validated model.

as long as each step is performed correctly, prior to the subsequent step you should satisfy both validation and verification of the design.

Different approaches for the same goals in different contexts

Since I was insterested in program verification, a long time ago, I start to read about Software Engineering. Broadly speaking I observed two approaches Quality Assurance and Formal Methods. The first QA, place more emphasis in organizational aspects in software development, the second FM, logical and algebraic methods to make proofs to ensure the quality of programs.

Giving a sight to the v&v link talking about QA standards like iso9000, that are used in many engineering projects, like building NASA's navies.

QA, may use the approach of formal methods to achieve some goals, but FM are independent of the way a team building software is organized.

I think that the pages should not be merged, just be disambiguated for the context, this does not exclude that the entry V&V (QA) pointing to V&V (FM) when necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elias (talk • contribs) 15:50, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Validation is not a quality assurance activity

I disagree that validation is a quality assurance activity. It is in fact a quality control activity, just like verification. Quality assurance is about providing visibility to various stakeholders into the process used to develop the product (including quality control activities) through objective evidences, in order to provide confidence and assurance about the product quality.

The version comparisons of this topic......

Just let you know that all the writers for these versions maybe proxy writers or the writers who are cloned, except for the originals. This can be evidenced by the fact that the original references were retrievable

The following info is about the writer who maybe a vandalist.....

as some of the critical infos of the article have been modified inappropriately, at least not in a common sense. --222.67.203.108 (talk) 03:09, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then report the vandal, but I don't see a problem. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:32, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also...the following trails is not normal either......and....

the critical infos of the article have been wrecked off....
