Verification and Validation​

  • Verification is like double-checking the code as you write it to ensure you're following the correct steps and using the right tools. It’s about making sure the software is being built correctly according to the requirements and plans.

  • Validation is like running the software at the end to see if it works as expected. It’s about making sure the final product actually does what the user needs it to do.

Defect Identification​

  • This is about finding errors or bugs in the software, like spotting a mistake in your code. The goal is to catch these issues early so they can be fixed before the software is released to users.

Quality Improvement​

  • This involves enhancing the software to make it more reliable and efficient, like refining your code to make it cleaner and faster. By testing and fixing issues, you improve the overall quality, making the software more dependable and user-friendly.

Risk Mitigation​

  • Testing helps reduce risks, like preventing your software from crashing by catching potential issues during development. It’s about identifying problems that could cause the software to fail or not perform well and addressing them before they become serious issues.

Customer Satisfaction​

  • The ultimate goal is to ensure the customer is happy with the software, like delivering a product that works flawlessly. By thoroughly testing the software, you ensure it performs well and meets the customer’s expectations, leading to satisfied users who trust and enjoy using the software.
