Analysis of IV&V Data

Abstract

This report presents the results of a one-year study of Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) results. Five large IV&V projects are examined to determine the effects of IV&V on software reliability, maintainability, and development cost/productivity. Current literature relevant to these topics is surveyed. IV&V-detected anomalies are categorized as to location, error category, effect, severity, acceptance, and resolution. Differences in project results are used to formulate recommendations for improving IV&V effectiveness.
