ISVV
Critical is a renowned Independent Software Verification and Validation provider. Our ISVV services work on requirements analysis, design analysis, code analysis and validation. These four phases can be performed separately or all together, executed concurrently with the software development project or later as part of the software product acceptance phase. They go far beyond traditional Verification & Validation techniques applied by development teams. While the latter aim to ensure the software performs well against the nominal requirements, Critical focuses on non-functional requirements such as robustness and reliability, and on conditions that can cause the software to break. V&V findings are fed back to the development teams for correction and improvement.
ISVV provides assurance that the software performs to the specified level of confidence and within its designed parameters and defined requirements. ISVV activities are performed by independent engineering teams, not involved in the software development process, to assess the processes and the resulting products. The ISVV team independency is performed at three different levels: financial, management and technical.
The end results of applying an ISVV methodology to a system are the increased software dependability, the simplification of the software architectures, resulting in increased maintainability and usability. Higher reuse capability is also achieved, which facilitates future developments and provides higher independence from software providers and better knowledge and operation of the system.
