COURSE 3250 | 3-DAY SESSION
Verification and Validation for Product Assurance

---

Course details

Software products and systems need assurance adequate for the importance of their use. To the extent their failure will incur significant social, financial, or safety costs, they need to be systematically assessed and authoritatively appraised. Verification and validation (V&V) is a well-proven systems engineering approach to quality assurance. It draws upon static and dynamic methods for reducing risk in the development, acquisition, and use of the software.

This course will treat the major components of V&V in a concrete manner, weaving ongoing cases studies. These will engage the participants in active analysis, decision-making, and discussions with one another. Conducted by a seasoned industry veteran who has been active on the IEEE standards working group for V&V, this course addresses the development and application of V&V techniques to a wide range of contemporary issues.

Session Length
This is a three-day course, held from 9 AM to 5 PM all three days.

Labs
Exercises will be used throughout the course to reinforce V&V concepts.

Intended Audience
You may need to organize, manage, or participate in verification and validation tasks within a development or acquisition project. You may have to assess the need for V&V activities or to evaluate potential V&V contractors. If assurance of software products is your concern, this course will provide the tools you need for success.

Prerequisites
Acquaintance with software development or acquisition issues. Some insights into project management, quality assurance, or testing would be helpful.
