What do the Terms Verification and Validation Really Mean? Thursday, August 18, 2016 5:30 PM Networking 6:00 PM Program What do the Terms Verification and Validation Really Mean? While the concepts of verification and validation are commonplace, the terms are often used interchangeably and the context of their use is not made clear, resulting in the meaning of the concepts being often misunderstood. This presentation addresses the use of the terms verification and validation and identifies their various meanings in terms of the context in which they are used. In particular, it is identified that both terms are very ambiguous unless a modifier is included in front of the word, clearly indicating what context the term is referring to: requirement definition, design, or product.
