Verification -> Are we building product right?
Validation -> Are we building right product?
- Verification evaluates documents, plans, code,
requirements, and specifications.
- Validation, on the other hand, evaluates the product itself.
- The inputs of verification are checklists, issues lists,
walkthroughs and inspection meetings, reviews and meetings.
- The input of validation, on the other hand, is the actual
testing of an actual product.
- The output of verification is a nearly perfect set of
documents, plans, specifications, and requirements document.
- The output of validation, on the other hand is the
actual/perfect product.
=> Verification comes before Validation.
