Verification vs. Validation
•Verification and Validation are often
not well understood. Verification and
Validation work together as a sort of
‘before’ (Verification) and ‘after’ (Validation)
proof.
ºVerification provides ‘insurance’ at a point in time
that the action will do what it is intended
to do without causing another problem. Predictive.
ºValidation provides measurable ‘evidence’ over time that
the action worked properly.
