Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)

Find hidden problems before they find you
Are your software development projects catching you by surprise? Are problems being caught too late causing unexpected, disruptive, and costly problems later in the project? Fortunately, there is a solution – Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V).

IV&V is a disciplined approach to assessing technology products and processes throughout the development life cycle consistent with the IEEE Standard for Software Verification and Validation (1012) and also encompassing many other IEEE and industry standards. The objective of IV&V is to identify issues as early as possible in the project so they can be resolved in a timely manner.

By definition, IV&V activities must be performed by a completely independent party with no personal, financial, or emotional ties to the project. Work products are carefully reviewed to ensure they will satisfy business requirements. Technical processes are assessed for consistency with applicable industry standards and best practices. And, ongoing feedback to the client and vendor project teams improves product and process quality thereby reducing project risk and unpleasant surprises.
