软件测试基础-确认和验证

这是经典的软件测试的两个概念，难怪有人说，软件测试的过程就是Verification和validation的过程。其中的verification我们就翻译为确认-对需求的确认。validation翻译为验证-验证最终的产品是我们期望的。下面看看wiki的定义吧。
Verification and Validation (software)
In software project management, software testing, and software engineering, Verification and Validation (V&V) is the process of checking that a software system meets specifications and that it fulfils its intended purpose. It is normally part of the software testing process of a project. In pharmaceutical industry, verification involves testing the suitability of well established procedures or (compendial) methods, whereas validation varies from Cross validation, Empirical validation, periodic partial validation, internal/external validation, competence validation by nature, and Cleaning validation, Process validation, Equipment validation, or Documentation validation by tasks.
