Verification, validation, integration, testing
Verification vs validation
Verification
Meeting requirements
Validation
Satisfying customer needs
Integration
Put the parts together to make sure things work together
Includes the expected operating environment
eg
Autonomous vehicles testers on public streets
Integration readiness level
How easy is it to integrate things
A stepping stone to System Readiness Level
Now what the heck is system readiness level? So
Seems important
The story of F35 software development
The kind of thing I think I could help do
Went from extreme slow iteration cycles to much more rapid testing
This seems like the process could be quite different for first time, one off systems vs repeated builds
We’re really talking about first delivery, QA is different (if probably a subset)
The core idea is cost of change goes up over time
Testing
Functional or non functional
Models
The cost pressure is to do model based engineering and simulation
Models need maintenance and testing as well
