Overview:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, let\u2019s dive into the fundamentals of Verification<\/strong> and Validation<\/strong> (also known as V&V) in terms of a software product. Though these are the very basic concept of software testing but sometimes you\u2019ll find it complicated too. The key idea behind V&V is to check whether a software system is meeting its requirements & specifications or not. Moreover, Verification is the process of avoiding defects & Validation is to find defects. It also acts like a Software Quality Control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look into the definition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification (Static Testing):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By the term Verification, we ensure that whether we are building the product right. In other words, we can say that the activities involved in verification are Inspection, Review & Walk-through. It is low-level testing & done without executing the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Example: <\/strong>Are we building a product right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Validation (Dynamic Testing):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Validation is the process where we validate the product which is developed is right\/wrong. In simple words, Validation means to validate the expected & actual output of the software. It is high-level testing & checked by executing the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/strong> Are we building the right product?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to minimize the complexity, let\u2019s look more deeply into the key differences :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
