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.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
