In software testing, Verification and Validation play distinct roles in ensuring quality. Let’s break it down:
Verification:
Checks if the product is built correctly.
Asks: "Are we building the product, right?"
Involves static testing like reviews and code inspections.
Example: Validating test cases against requirements.
Validation:
Confirms the product meets user needs.
Asks: "Are we building the right product?"
Includes dynamic testing like UAT and functional testing.
Example: User testing to ensure the software works as intended.
Key Insight: Verification focuses on process (pre-build), while Validation ensures the product fits its purpose (post-build). Both are vital for success!
