What is Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)
Blog Categories:
IV&V stands for independent Verification and Validation. It is a process used in software development and systems engineering to ensure that a product, system, or software meets the requirements and performs as intended. IV&V is conducted by an independent organization or team not involved in the product’s development to provide an unbiased evaluation.
Why is IV&V Important?
1. Quality Assurance: IV&V helps identify defects and issues early in the development cycle, reducing the cost and effort required for corrections later.
2. Risk Mitigation: It minimizes the risk of system failures by ensuring that the system behaves as expected under different conditions.
3. Compliance and Standards: IV&V ensures the product complies with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
4. Objective Perspective: By involving an independent team, IV&V provides an objective evaluation, eliminating biases that might be present within the development team.
5. User Satisfaction: Ensuring the product meets user requirements and expectations increases user satisfaction and trust.
6. Cost Efficiency: Early detection of issues reduces the cost of fixing them later in development.
IV&V is crucial in industries where system failures can lead to significant risks.
