Primes¶
- Validation
- Testing checks for defects; validation checks for rightness of purpose, as Wallace and Fujii (1989) make explicit in their NIST-published treatment of software V&V. A system can pass all unit tests, integration tests, and performance benchmarks yet fail validation if it does not solve the intended problem or introduces unforeseen side effects.
This sourceNIST-rooted treatment distinguishing testing (defect detection) from validation (fitness-for-purpose assessment) in the V&V process.
