Verification and validation
Software testing is used in association with verification and validation (V&V). Verification is the checking of or testing of items, including software, for conformance and consistency with an associated specification. Software testing is just one kind of verification, which also uses techniques such as reviews, inspections, and walkthroughs. Validation is the process of checking what has been specified is what the user actually wanted.
* Verification: Have we built the software right? (i.e. does it match the specification). * Validation: Have we built the right software? (i.e. Is this what the customer wants?)
