Question: Difference between Verification and Validation? Answer: Verification ensures the product is designed to deliver all functionality to the customer; it typically involves reviews and meetings to evaluate documents, plans, code, requirements and specifications; this can be done with checklists, issues lists, walkthroughs and inspection meetings. You CAN learn to do verification, with little or no outside help. Validation ensures that functionality , as defined in requirements, is the intended behavior of the product; validation typically involves actual testing and takes place after verifications are completed.
