Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)

Find hidden problems before they find you
Are your IT projects catching you by surprise? Are problems occurring that you are catching too late, resulting in unexpected, disruptive, and costly problems later in the project? Fortunately, there is an 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) but also encompassing many other IEEE and industry standards. The objective is to identify issues as early as possible in the project so these issues can be resolved in a timely manner.

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