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

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
