Varification:  it is the process of confirming that s/w "meets
its specification".It involves reviews and meetings to
evaluate documents,plans,code,requirement and
specification.This can be done with checklist,issues lists
amd walkthroughs.
It is the examination of the process and checks r we
building the product right?

Validation:It is the process of confirming that it "meets
the user's requirements".Validation typically involves
actual testing and take place after varification are
completed.

Verificartion: Typically involves rreviews and meetings to evaluate documents plans code requirements and specifications. This can be done with checklist issues lists walkthroughs and inspection meetings.
1. This process focus upon the process of an organisation
2.verification begins in the initial phase and will be always associated with all the phases of SDLC
3.Mostly QA(Quality Assurance ) engineers will be involved in the process of verification.
4.are we building the right system?

Validation: Typically involves actual testing and takes place after verifcations are completed
1.This process focus on the product after the development(The out come of the work)
2.Validation appears after coding phase
3.Most of the times test engineers will be involved in the phase of validation.
4.are we building system right?

RE: What is difference between Validation and Verification
verfication - like cross checking eg: modules are prepared as per specification
validation- comparing with specification whether we prepared modules as per specification

RE: What is difference between Validation and Verification
Verification: Verifying the behaviour of an application which ensures the application is meeting the software requirement or the client requirements.

or

Verification is set of activity that ensures the software Requirements or the Client Requirements.

Validation: Validation is set of activity that implements the customer requirement or customer expected result.

or

Validation is validating the behaviour of an object in an application wheather meeting the customer expected result or not.

RE: What is difference between Validation and Verification

Validation is also called as review..............checking wheather the project meets the Software reruiements

Verification:-checking wheather the project meeat user requied

RE: What is difference between Validation and Verification

Validation: Executing some data and checking the result whether it satisfy end usage requirement

Verification: like reviewing the document and verifying the input specifications

RE: What is difference between Validation and Verification
VERIFICATION :

If we are only verfiying our system/ application on papers like Reviews meetings etc where no execution of the test cases involved.


VALIDATION :

While Execution of the test cases when we are validating our system/ application is validation.

RE: What is difference between Validation and Verification

Verification and validation is a form of testing that defense against error
prone software development and maintenance process.

Verification and validation are not the same verification shows conformance
with the specifications and validation shows that the program meets the
customer's need


Verification : is a type of static testing as software inspection is convened
with analysis of the static system representation to discover problems.

Formal approach to document reviews

Intended explicitly for defect detection but not correction

Cannot check non functional characteristics such as performance usability etc.

Many defects can be discovered in single inspection

Verification can be done on Requirements specifications design docs Code


Validation : is a type of dynamic testing as software testing concerned with
exercising and observing product behaviour

One defect may mask another defect so several executions are required

Intended explicitly for correction

Validation is done in actual application and may be done on Prototype Validation
Take place after verification

RE: What is difference between Validation and Verification
Verification: Verification is a process to ensure that the software that is made matches the original design. It checks whether the software is made according to the criteria and specification described in the requirement document. it is to check whether you built the product right as per design.

Validation: Validation is a process to check whether the product design fits the client's need. it checks whether you built the right thing. it checks whether it is designed properly or not.
