evaluation and verification

Evaluation is the process of assessing a product, service, or system to determine its quality, effectiveness, or value, often through testing or analysis. Verification, on the other hand, involves checking whether the product or system meets specified requirements and standards, confirming it is built correctly. In essence, verification asks, "Did we build it right?" while evaluation asks, "Is it the right solution?" Both are vital to ensure that a product is both correctly made and suitable for its intended purpose.
