GUIDLEINE FOR VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION

Test Factor Lifecycle Verification Validation

Phase
• Trace-ability of requirements All Requirement
Tracing
across phases Matrix
• Compliance with regulatory
requirements (if applicable)
• Stake holder’s needs have Requirements Document Prototyping
been captured correctly (e.g. Review.
no omissions, ambiguity). • SRS
• Consistency and clarity in • PRS
elicited requirements.
• HLD: Definition of components Design Design
as per PRS (e.g. consistency Review
in interfaces defined in PRS
and HLD).
• HLD: Suitability of architecture.
e.g. whether to deploy a
layered architecture/pipe and
filter etc.)
• HLD: Design entities correctly
identified.
• LLD: Inputs, Processing,
Outputs of design entities for
each design entity defined (e.g.
consistency in usage of
entities.
• Code as per the LLD (e.g. Coding Code
function calls in conformance Review
to sequence diagrams)
• Effectiveness of measures Unit Testing • Test Black Box
