Validation is concerned with checking that the software meets the user's needs, and Verification is concerned with checking that the system is well-engineered.\nThe definition of activities included under software V&V is necessarily quite broad, and includes both technical and management-based activities.  The Federal approach to V&V differs somewhat from the international standard for software V&V, namely that found in the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Standard for Software Verification and Validation (IEEE Std 1012-2004).  Contrary to the international standard, Federal V&V does not require a continuous on-site presence or extensive testing, nor does it perform actual quality assurance activities or other remediations.  It instead imposes periodic reviews of software development projects that include site visits employing various industry standards to conduct artifact analysis with interviews of a project’s team and stakeholder in order to fashion a comprehensive “snapshot” of a project’s management and technical processes at work at a given point-in-time.\nAnother distinction the reader will note is in t","cbCaibiTeRGhFyp8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibiTeRGhFyp8","docx",101021,26,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Federal Role In And Perspective On IV&V\n## Frequency of IV&V Services\n## Conflict of Interest Exclusion\n## Contractor Capability\n## Key Personnel\n## Scope of Services\n## Deliverables\n## IV&V Format and Content Reporting Requirements\n## State Furnished Items\n## Travel\n## Points of Contact\n## Contract Period\n## Definition of Terms","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of software V\\u0026V in the lifecycle?\",\"answer\":\"Software Verification and Validation (V\\u0026V) helps a development organization build quality into application software throughout the software life cycle.
