Describe to me the difference between validation and verification.

Answer posted by Radhika on 2005-05-24 08:29:43: Verification takes place before validation, and not vice versa. Verification evaluates documents, plans, code, requirements and specifications. Validation evaluates the product itself. The input of verification are checklists, issue lists, walkthroughs and inspection meetings, reviews and meetings. The input of validation is the actual testing of an actual product. The output of verification is a nearly perfect set of documents, plans, specifications and requirements

RE: Describe to me the difference between validation and verification.
verification is a process to define pre-define activity i.e. ( before testing process starts check whether all relavent documents are prepared and ensure that standard which we create to meet the requirement) to prepare a application.

validation: its a process to test the apllication and deliver error free application
