Services & Solutions: Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V)
TCG provides Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services, monitoring the life-cycle of a development effort that seeks to
- Verify objectively that the results of development activities fulfill their requirements, and to
- Validate objectively that the development products satisfy user needs under defined operating conditions.
IV&V evaluates processes such as configuration management and testing, and products such as software and documentation. By performing IV&V concurrently with development, deficiencies can be identified and corrected early, before the remediation of adverse effects becomes impractical. IV&V uses disciplined, rigorous methods such as formal inspections of development artifacts, traceability and other analyses, and the application of appropriate tools.
