Validation & Verification
Prepared byArch. Saad Al Jabri
Introduction
There is a common conflict in understanding Validation and Verification
Validation
• Is about building the right thing,• Validation process determines if you have
built the correct product for the customer,
• Whether it meets all of their needs and requirement,
• Checking whether the product specification is fulfilling the customers needs or not
Validation
•It is a subjective process,•Used to assess how well the product is
fulfilling or will fulfill the customer requirements,
•Examples of process include:▫Modeling▫Simulation▫User evaluation
Validation Example
You are developing a for your customers.
You conducted the and then collected the number of features to be included in the cell phone.Then you started the production of it.
Validation Example
When the cell phone is launched in theIt did not get the expected responses from the customers, and eventually it
You would say that the productCould not be validated because it to meet the customers requirement and needs
Verification
• is about building the thing in the right way,
• Verification process determines if you are building the product in the correct way as described in procedure manuals and all quality assurance and quality control activities are being performed as they are supposed to be,
Verification
•Verification process checks that the product is being developed with all specifications are properly applied,
•Verification is an objective process where product specifications and all quality requirements are documented well enough so that they could be measured and analyzed.
Verification example
let us say that you are developing a cell phone to be launched in the market. You conducted the market research and then collected the numbers of functionalities to be included in the cell phone. then you design the procedures to be used to build the product and specify the quality requirements for it.
Verification example
Now the production process has been started. To make sure that everything is going according to plan, you perform the inspection activities to the process,then, you would say that the product has been verified and is being developed as you planned for it.
Validation vs. Verification
Validation VerificationA process of seeing whether the product satisfies the customers needs or not
Evaluating the process and product in development stage
It is performed to build the right product
It is performed to build a product in right way
Validation activates include testing of the product itself
Document reviews and inspection are examples of the verification process activities
