Verification VS. Validation

Definitions of Verification VS. Validation

Validation:
  • The process of determining that the system does the right things.
  • Determining if the system complies with the requirements and performs functions for which it is intended and meets the organization’s goals and user needs. It is traditional and is performed at the end of the project.

Verification:

  • The process of determining that the system does things right.
  • The review of interim work steps and interim deliverables during a project to ensure they are acceptable. To determine if the system is consistent, adheres to standards, uses reliable techniques and prudent practices, and performs the selected functions in the correct manner.
