Planning for Software Validation, Verification, and Testing
Abstract
Today, providing computer software involves greater cost and risk than providing computer equipment. One major reason is hardware is mass produced by proven technology, while software is still produced primarily by the craft of individual computer programmers. The document is for those who direct and those who implement computer projects; it explains the selection and use of validation, verification, and testing (V,V&T) tools and techniques for software development. A primary benefit of practicing V,V&T is increasing confidence in the quality of the software. The document explains how to develop a plan to meet specific software V,V&T goals.
