The key takeaways are that verification checks documents, design and code against requirements while validation checks if the software meets customer needs and is tested in the intended environment.

Verification checks documents and design against requirements but does not execute code, while validation executes the code to test if it meets customer needs and finds bugs that verification may miss.

An example given is checking a design document for a spelling mistake in a button name during verification, and then validation testing finds the button is not clickable as intended.

Verification in Software Testing 

is a process of checking
documents, design, code, and program in order to check if the
software has been built according to the requirements or not.
The main goal of verification process is to ensure quality of
software application, design, architecture etc. The verification
process involves activities like reviews, walk-throughs and
inspection.

Validation in Software Testing


Validation in Software Testing is a dynamic mechanism of
testing and validating if the software product actually meets
the exact needs of the customer or not. The process helps to
ensure that the software fulfills the desired use in an
appropriate environment. The validation process involves
activities like unit testing, integration testing, system testing
and user acceptance testing.

Verification Validation

validation verification
Example of verification and validation
 In Software Engineering, consider the following
specification
A clickable button with name Submet

 Verification would check the design doc and correcting


the spelling mistake.
 Otherwise, the development team will create a button like
o So new specification is

A clickable button with name Submit

 Once the code is ready, Validation is done. A Validation


test found –
 Owing to Validation testing, the development team will
make the submit button clickable
