What are the differences between verification and validation software testing?
While verification and validation seem to be similar terms that can be used interchangeably, they are very different in the context of software testing. Knowing this and being able to describe each term as software test engineers use it will validate your qualifications and verify that you are well suited for this position. As with any technical question, start by defining each term, then describe the differences between them.
"Both verification and validation are processes used by test engineers. Verification is used throughout the testing process to ensure that the software functions as specified without any bugs. It verifies that the product is being developed properly. On the other hand, validation is a process used later in the software development and testing life cycle to determine whether the software product meets the original design criteria and requirements."
