Validation and Verification

Validation and verification are processes used to ensure a product or system meets requirements and functions correctly. Verification checks whether the product was built correctly—reviewing designs, code, or hardware to ensure it aligns with specifications. Validation, on the other hand, confirms that the right product was built—ensuring it fulfills user needs and performs its intended purpose in real-world conditions. Together, these steps help identify issues early, improve quality, and confirm the final product delivers the expected value.
