A Software System Verification Task is a system verification task whose input is a software program to ensure that it meets the specified requirements and specifications.
- AKA: Software Correctness Verification.
- Context:
- Task Input: Software System Specification, Software System Implementation, Software System Requirements Document
- Task Output: Software System Verification Report, Software System Compliance Status, Software System Defect List
- Task Performance Measure: Software System Verification Coverage, Software System Defect Detection Rate, Software System Verification Time
- ...
- It can typically answer Software System Verification Questions such as "Assuming we should build X, does this software system achieve its goals without any software system bugs or software system gaps?".
- It can typically evaluate Software System Requirement Compliance through software system verification methods including software system inspections and software system reviews.
- It can typically assess Software System Design Conformance by comparing software system implementation against software system design specifications.
- It can typically verify Software System Code Quality using software system static analysis tools and software system code review processes.
- It can typically validate Software System Interface Specifications through software system interface verification and software system integration checks.
- ...
- It can often employ Software System Verification Techniques such as software system formal verification, software system model checking, and software system proof checking.
- It can often utilize Software System Verification Tools including software system static analyzers, software system verification frameworks, and software system compliance checkers.
- It can often generate Software System Verification Artifacts containing software system verification evidence, software system traceability matrix, and software system verification metrics.
- It can often integrate with Software System Development Tools through software system verification plugins and software system verification APIs.
- ...
- It can range from being a Manual Software System Verification to being an Automated Software System Verification, depending on its software system verification automation level.
- It can range from being a Lightweight Software System Verification to being a Rigorous Software System Verification, depending on its software system verification formality.
- It can range from being a Component-Level Software System Verification to being a System-Level Software System Verification, depending on its software system verification scope.
- ...
- It can occur during Software System Development Phases including software system requirement phase, software system design phase, and software system implementation phase.
- It can support Software System Quality Assurance Processes by providing software system verification feedback and software system compliance assessments.
- It can differ from Software System Validation Tasks which verify "Was X what we should have built?" rather than "Did we build X correctly?".
- ...
- Example(s):
- Software System Verification Stages, such as:
- Software System Requirements Verification checking software system requirement completeness and software system requirement consistency.
- Software System Design Verification validating software system architecture decisions and software system design patterns.
- Software System Code Verification examining software system code compliance with software system coding standards.
- Software System Interface Verification confirming software system API specifications and software system protocol adherence.
- Software System Verification Methods, such as:
- Software System Formal Verification using software system mathematical proofs to verify software system correctness property.
- Software System Model Checking employing software system state space exploration for software system property verification.
- Software System Static Analysis analyzing software system source code without software system execution.
- Software System Inspection conducting software system peer reviews of software system artifacts.
- Software System Verification Implementations, such as:
- NASA Software System Verification for software system mission-critical applications using software system formal methods.
- Medical Device Software System Verification meeting software system FDA requirements through software system compliance testing.
- Automotive Software System Verification following software system ISO 26262 standards for software system functional safety.
- Banking Software System Verification ensuring software system regulatory compliance and software system security requirements.
- ...
- Software System Verification Stages, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Software System Validation Task, which confirms software system fitness for purpose rather than software system specification compliance.
- Software System Testing Task, which executes software system dynamic tests rather than software system static verification.
- Software System Debugging Task, which identifies and fixes software system defects rather than verifying software system requirements.
- Software System Maintenance Task, which modifies existing software system functionality rather than verifying software system compliance.

- In software development, software testing, verification, and validation are all important activities that aim to ensure that the software meets the intended requirements and is of high quality. However, they differ in their objectives, methods, and timing. Here is an overview of the similarities and differences between software testing, verification, and validation:

- Software Verification: Software verification is the process of evaluating the software system or its component(s) to ensure that it meets the specified requirements and specifications. Verification is a static process that involves reviewing and analyzing the software documentation, design, and code to check if they conform to the specified requirements and standards. Verification can be done at different stages of software development, such as requirement verification, design verification, and code verification. The primary objective of verification is to ensure that the software meets the intended requirements and specifications.

- In summary, testing is focused on finding defects or problems in the software, verification is focused on ensuring that the software meets the specified requirements and standards, and validation is focused on ensuring that the software meets the user's needs and expectations. While they have different objectives, these activities are complementary and are all necessary for ensuring the quality and reliability of software.

- In software project management, software testing, and software engineering, verification and validation (V&V) is the process of checking that a software system meets specifications and requirements so that it fulfills its intended purpose. It may also be referred to as software quality control. It is normally the responsibility of software testers as part of the software development lifecycle. In simple terms, software verification is: "Assuming we should build X, does our software achieve its goals without any bugs or gaps?" On the other hand, software validation is: "Was X what we should have built? Does X meet the high-level requirements?"
