V&V and Quality work together. In Systems Engineering, the Verification process is synthesized as “developing the system right” (according to standards, requirements, etc.), while Validation is in a nutshell addressed as “creating the right system”, fulfilling the needs and objectives of the stakeholders.
Both concepts are connected with the notion of evidence (ISO 15288). In many cases, evidence can be provided with the help of Quality Management and Assurance. The V&V process is applied on both sides of the V-Model. On the left side of the V-Model, Verification concentrates on the relevance, feasibility, and or quality of requirements, models, etc. against the consequent standard, knowledge base, or regulation. On the right side of the V-Model,
evidence concentrates on assuring that built elements comply with the corresponding elements of the left side of the V-model: requirements, models, etc.
Throughout the V&V process, validation against the higher abstraction levels takes place to ensure alignment with the needs and objectives intended for the particular subsystems/components and the overall system.
Using seamless Evidence Management, the V&V Studio provides Systems Engineers with the required tools for managing and completing the V&V of any work product or system.
