Verification and Validation Process In Software
Testing

2. Verification
➔ Verifies the intermediary products and stages to see whether it matches
the specific requirements of that particular phase.
➔ Checks whether the product is developed according to the
predetermined requirements and design particulars.
➔ Can be done without execution of the software.
➔ Static methods are used.
➔
e.g. reviews, walkthrough and inspection.

3. Checks whether the end product meets the need of the business.
Answers the question as to whether the software or application is fit for usage
and fulfills the business requirements.
The execution of software is necessary for doing validation.
Dynamic methods are used.
e.g. Types of Testing like regression, smoke etc. are involved over here.
Validation

4. The main aim behind carrying out the verification and validation process is as
follows:
Enables early finding and rectification of Defects.
Give steady measures towards the product Life-Cycle Process, to improve
consistence with schedule and budget prerequisites.
Validation is important to check whether the various data controls present on a
page are accepting the desired data and giving the expected output.
When we do the V&V errands, we need to think both of these perspective of
quality.

5. Contn.........
T In an extremely less complex terms ( to maintain a strategic distance
from any sort of perplexity), we simply recollect that Verification implies
the review exercises or the static testing systems and validation implies
the genuine test execution exercises or the dynamic Testing Methods.

Both these processes are an integral part of the testing process and happen to
be very important.
Imagine that we are unable to deliver that product which the customer expects.
It is important for software testers to identify the difference between these two
processes. So that, they can implement these whenever required during the
testing process.
