Verification & Validation

How does an engineer know when to stop? The stopping point is reached when the system being designed fulfills all the requirements that made its design necessary to begin with. When every requirement is answered by the system design and every aspect of the system design is the result of answering those requirements "bi-directional traceability" has been achieved and the design can be considered complete.

Validation and verification is the process of checking for that completeness. In CORE, validation and verification take place throughout the design process. CORE's executable models and integrated simulation capability take verification to a level unmatched by point-solution products. COREsim assesses integrated performance directly from the system design. This allows the systems engineering team to verify design integrity at any phase and evaluate candidate solutions before incurring the significant expenses of committing to them "blind." CORE simplifies the process of validation and verification through end-to-end requirements traceability, behavior modeling, automated static and dynamic consistency checking and a complete verification and test facility. Formal documentation is available on-demand, with the product navigating the design and publishing reports direct from the database in a number of common formats for distribution or web posting.

Using CORE allows the design team to quickly and conveniently:

• Develop verification requirements and plans
• Develop verification requirements and plans
• Validate requirements with physical, behavioral and verification models
• Manage all aspects of V&V from planning to results
• Maintain consistency in requirements, behavior and architecture
