What is verification & validation?

Answer Posted / vimal

Verification: It is a process confirming that software
meets its specification document. It basically involves
walkthroughs, review and inspection. QA team members define
the process as per the specification.

Validation: It is a process confirming that software
meets its user requirements. It basically involves testing.
Validation technique done after verification process. QC
team like testers they r going to implementing the process
defined by QA team.

Verification is QA activity which ensures that the software
product is designed to deliver all the functionality
whatever mentioned in the requirement specification
document. Reviews, walkthroughs and inspections are its
techniques. It is a preventive phase.

Validation ensures that whatever mentioned in the
requirement specification document should be the intended
behavior of the software. Validation is actual testing. It
is a corrective phase and is QC activity.
