Verification V/S Validation

Verification ensures that system(software,hardware,documentation,personalnel) complies with the organization standards or process relying on review or non-executable methods.

Verification requires several types of reviews like requirement review,design review,code review, code walkthroughs, code inspections and test reviews.The system users should involes in this review to find defects before they are build in to the systems.

Validation physically ensures that system works according to the plan by executing system functions through the series of the tests.

Validation examples are unit testing,integration testing,system testing and user acceptance testing.

verification answers the question " Are we building the right system?" while
validation addresses, "Are we build the system right?"
