Difference between Verification and Validation?

Hi Varesh,

Verification - Evaluation done at the end of a phase to determine that requirements are established during the previous phase have been met. Generally Verification refers to the overall s/w evaluation activity, including reviewing, inspecting, checking and auditing.

Validation: - The process of evaluating s/w at the end of the development process to ensure compliance with requirements. Validation typically involves actual testing and takes place after verification is complete.

Verification: Whether we are building the product right?

Validation: Whether we are building the right product/System?

Thanks
