What is Software IV&V?
- IV&V stands for independent verification & validation
- IV&V is the process of:
- verifying that the output of each software phase meets its requirements, and
- Validating that the software, at the end of the development effort, meets the overall project objectives.
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) service ensures that the project plans and deliverables are thoroughly inspected at every step of the way to verify that the software satisfies requirements and validates that it meets the customers business objectives. IV&V and Testing services will enable the customer to deliver their most critical projects on time, within their budget and most importantly with quality that meets or exceeds your stakeholder expectations.
Why Independent?
One of the major advantages of an independent evaluation is that the person or group performing the evaluation will be unbiased. There are no emotional ties to the project. There is no hidden agenda or ulterior motive. The company that performs the IV&V process, place their reputation on their findings. Any good company would not take this responsibility lightly. Professional reputations are hard to build and easy to lose.
What can we do for you?
