Understand customer needs, mission goals, domain, project scope
Communication
Throughout execution, Communicate Issues Document Results for IV&V Certification
Perform IV&V
Analyze software artefact's, validate the Software
IV&V Design
Develop strategy for accomplishing objectives, including technical approaches
Assessment
Identify high risk and critical areas of software
Benefits
- Process-driven IV&V methodology provides consistent, cost effective results at every phase
- Regular & comprehensive risk reviews enable proactive elimination of issues and ensure a system meets its functional objective
- Provides a perspective on tests and results
- Assesses technical and operational impact to any identified noncompliance
Strengths
