Independent verification and validation (IV&V)

The criteria come before the work

Scope, acceptance criteria and boundaries are agreed in writing before work starts. Those criteria become the automated tests, so every build is measured against what was agreed — not against what anyone remembers agreeing.

Traceable, requirement by requirement

Conformity tests run against the applicable reference framework, and every test case is linked to the requirement it proves. What you get back is not an opinion on software quality. It is a matrix showing, requirement by requirement, what is demonstrated, what is not, and by which test.

A file that stands without you in the room

Dated decisions, named authors, criteria set in advance, acceptance declared against those criteria. The file reconstructs the decision with nobody present to explain it — which is what matters when an audit, a challenge or a change of team arrives months after go-live.

What you get

• The validation reference: scope, criteria, exclusions, change rule
• The requirements-to-test-case traceability matrix
• The automated test suites, which stay with you
• Defect classification and tracking through to closure
• The acceptance record, written to be signed by you

The boundaries, stated up front

We do not certify and we issue no attestation of conformity — that sits with accredited bodies, and we work alongside yours. We do not declare acceptance on your behalf. And we do not take over the business ownership of the requirements: they stay yours, we make them verifiable.
