TABLE OF CONTENTS There are various international standards for the processes and documentation involved in verification and validation of systems and software. Many of these have been sponsored or co-sponsored by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Whatever requirements V&V techniques are used, a software requirements V&V plan should always be written to accompany any major or critical software application.
IEEE Std 1012-2004, IEEE Standard for Software Verification and Validation, provides some guidelines to help prepare verification and validation plans. Figure 5.1 shows the recommended V&V plan outline (IEEE 1012).
