Strategy and coverage
Plan verification and validation against requirements and risks, with explicit coverage, responsibilities and acceptance evidence.
Capability
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.
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.
Recurring types of work within this capability, described in more depth.
The agreed assignment determines which activities are included and where the responsibility boundary sits.
Plan verification and validation against requirements and risks, with explicit coverage, responsibilities and acceptance evidence.
Specify, prepare, execute and evaluate unit, component, integration and system-level tests, including functional and regression testing.
Verify hardware/software behaviour using HIL, SIL or MIL contexts where applicable to the product and available environment.
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.
Maintain requirement-to-test linkage, analyse results and report defects, residual uncertainty and release-relevant findings.
Clarify verifiable requirements and connect tests to the system definition.
Translate verification needs into repeatable test execution and reporting.
Provide traceable evidence and unresolved findings for reviews and release-readiness assessment.
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.
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.
Highlighted stages indicate typical connections. The actual entry point and scope follow the product and assignment.
Clarify the problem, requirements and responsibility boundary.
Allocate functions and define system and discipline interfaces.
Implement electronics, platform and embedded software.
Bring components, configurations and interfaces into a working baseline.
Evaluate behaviour and assemble the agreed engineering evidence.
Prepare the release, production support and technical handover.
Maintain, adapt and control change across variants and product life.
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.
