Verification And Validation

Verification and Validation is a systematic approach to evaluating whether a product, system, or component meets defined requirements and specifications, and that it fulfills its intended purpose. Coursera's Verification and Validation catalogue provides you with the knowledge essential to ensure the quality, reliability, and consistency of software or hardware products. You'll grasp the principles of both the verification process, which checks that a product correctly implements a specific function, and the validation process, which is a dynamic mechanism of testing and evaluation to ascertain if the system represents the intended behavior. You'll also learn about different testing methodologies, quality assurance, error detection and correction, and how to manage the completeness of the entire process, greatly improving your competencies in quality assurance, project management, and software development.
