Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)

Whether it is another department inside your organization or another company to which you outsource the development, XBOSoft's IV&V 3rd party testing ensures your product is delivered with high quality.

When validating your software we ensure that the product actually meets the user's needs through a thorough user profile review, and that the specifications were correct, or that the right product was built and that it will satisfy its intended use. In verification, we ensure that the product has been built according to the requirements and design specifications. In other words, ensures the product was built correctly.

The process includes measuring your product against the software specifications, requirements, and your acceptance criteria. When acceptance criteria are cloudy, which is often the case, we work with you to develop criteria that match your requirements, yet are reasonable to the developer. XBOSoft provides 3^rd party testing services as a technically, managerially, and financially independent entity from the development organization and governing program/project management. With an independent point of view, our goal is to increase the overall product quality by finding defects as fast as possible while ensuring that the software meets your needs and requirements.

Validation and verification by themselves do not maximize or guarantee software quality. Many aspects of software engineering are required combined with a total quality lifecycle approach.
