Table - Testing Verification vs Testing Validation
| Testing Verification | Testing Validation |
| 1. Quality Assurance = Verification | 1. Quality Control = Validation = Testing |
| 2. Verification is the process of evaluating a system or component to determine wether the products of a given phase satisfy the conditions imposed at the start of the phase. | 2. Validation is the process of evaluating a system or component during or at the end of the developmental process to determine wether it satisfies specified requirements. |
| 3. Verification takes care of activities to focus on the questions like 'Are we building the product right?' | 3. Validation takes care of a set of activities that address questions like 'Are we building the right product?' |
| 4. To build the product right, certain activities or conditions or procedures are imposed at the beginning of life cycle. These activities are considered 'proactive' as their purpose is to prevent defects before they take shape. The process activities in each phase is termed as verification. | 4. To build the right product, certain activites are carried out during various phases to validate wether the product is built as per specifications. These activites are considered 'reactive'. |
| 5. Ex - Requirements review, design review, code review etc. | 5. Ex - Unit testing, Integration testing, System testing etc. |
