Yes. And the post you're replying to is pointing out that that would be part of `Validation` to decide. Verification is confirming the software meets the spec.

Yes. And the post you're replying to is pointing out that that would be part of `Validation` to decide. Verification is confirming the software meets the spec. Validation is confirming that the software meets the actual desired behavior.
- nicce 2y agoI think the comment was way shorter than it currently is when I replied. It is sometimes difficult to say what is meant with "validation". Many also use it to mean "functional testing", for example, which is incorrect.
- jghn 2y agobased on what amw-zero stated, they're using it in the formal QC sense like ISO9001. In that context the two words have distinct meanings. I do agree that colloquially they can be used in different ways, but as we're talking about formal verification as a concept, in this case verification aligns with that definition.
