Study Notes
- Validation activities must be tested in the intended operational environment by the acquirer, even if they have been validated at a supplier facility.
- Planning for validation should begin when stakeholder needs and requirements are being defined, and validation success criteria should be defined at the same time.
- Reducing validation activities should be done using a risk-based approach to minimize costly and time-consuming gaps and missed requirements later in the life cycle.
- Validation actions include validating stakeholder requirements, system requirements, models or simulations, system architecture, system design, and realized SoIs.
- Validation outcomes include acceptance and certification, with acceptance being a decision by the acquirer to transition the system and certification being a written assurance that the system has been developed per defined procedures and standards.
- Acceptance involves a set of operational validation actions or a review of validation results by the supplier.
- Certification provides assurance that the system can perform its intended functions in accordance with legal or industrial standards.
- Validation of a stakeholder requirement ensures the requirement is the right one, clearly communicates the need, is actionable, and will meet the stakeholder's needs.
- Validation of a system requirement ensures the requirement is the right one, clearly communicates the need and requirement, is actionable, and will meet the stakeholder's needs when transformed into a system architecture and design.
- Validation of a model or simulation ensures it accurately reflects the intended behavior of the entity it represents and meets the intended purpose for which it was developed.
- Validation of the system architecture ensures it is the right architecture that will result in a design for the SoI that will meet stakeholder needs and requirements.
- Validation of the system design ensures the design will result in a SoI that meets its intended purpose in its operational environment when operated by intended users and meets stakeholder needs and requirements.
- Validation of a realized SoI ensures it meets its intended purpose in its operational environment when operated by intended users and does not enable unintended users to negatively impact the intended use of the system or use the system in an unintended way.
