Validation And Verification Processes

In the context of aerospace engineering, Validation and Verification Processes refer to the systematic procedures used to check whether a system or component during various stages of its life cycle meets specified requirements. Verification is the process of evaluating a system or component during or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies the specified requirements. It involves activities such as inspections, reviews, walkthroughs, and desk-checking. On the other hand, Validation is the process of evaluating a system or component during or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies the user's needs and expectations. It involves actual testing and takes place after verifications are completed. Both processes are critical in aerospace engineering to ensure that the designed and developed systems, like spacecraft, satellites, and aircraft, are safe, reliable, and efficient. They help in identifying and rectifying errors, defects, and issues that could lead to system failures or malfunctions.
