Capability

Verification, Validation & Test

Turn requirements and engineering risks into test coverage, interpretable findings and evidence for technical decisions.

Verification and validation can address a component, an integrated system or a defined qualification-support scope. The strategy, test levels, facilities and acceptance responsibilities are agreed around the product and the decision the evidence must support.

When to involve CEVOLARION

  • A release decision lacks a clear view of requirement coverage and unresolved findings.
  • Hardware/software failures appear late and need targeted system-level verification.
  • A changing baseline needs regression coverage and qualification-support evidence traced back to requirements.

Engineering scope

The agreed assignment determines which activities are included and where the responsibility boundary sits.

Strategy and coverage

Plan verification and validation against requirements and risks, with explicit coverage, responsibilities and acceptance evidence.

Test design and execution

Specify, prepare, execute and evaluate unit, component, integration and system-level tests, including functional and regression testing.

Hardware/software and model-based contexts

Verify hardware/software behaviour using HIL, SIL or MIL contexts where applicable to the product and available environment.

Qualification support

Support qualification planning, procedures and evidence within the agreed competence and assignment boundary. Environmental or EMC-related work is scoped against the required expertise and facilities.

Evidence, findings and release decisions

Maintain requirement-to-test linkage, analyse results and report defects, residual uncertainty and release-relevant findings.

Interfaces to adjacent disciplines

Example engineering outputs

Outputs are assignment-dependent and agreed for each engagement.

  • Verification and validation strategy and test plans.
  • Test specifications, procedures and execution results.
  • Requirement-to-test traceability and organised evidence.
  • Verification summaries and release-relevant issue findings.

Methods and engineering environment

  • Requirement- and risk-linked test design.
  • Unit, component, integration and system-level functional and regression testing.
  • Hardware-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop and model-in-the-loop testing where applicable.
  • Qualification-support evidence and test-result analysis. Acceptance and approval roles are agreed explicitly.

Where this discipline connects

Highlighted stages indicate typical connections. The actual entry point and scope follow the product and assignment.

  1. Define

    Clarify the problem, requirements and responsibility boundary.

  2. Architect

    Allocate functions and define system and discipline interfaces.

  3. Develop

    Implement electronics, platform and embedded software.

  4. Integrate

    Bring components, configurations and interfaces into a working baseline.

  5. Verify & Qualify

    Evaluate behaviour and assemble the agreed engineering evidence.

  6. Release & Deploy

    Prepare the release, production support and technical handover.

  7. Evolve & Tailor

    Maintain, adapt and control change across variants and product life.

Delivered at the scale of the work

This capability can contribute to specialist work, an Engineering Cell, a Defined Work Package or an agreed Managed Service. The collaboration model and partnership tier are separate decisions.
