ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
During a regulated product release, your organization must keep software verification separate from validation. Which activity would be classified as validation rather than verification in a formal V&V plan?
Executing unit tests to confirm that individual modules conform to defined interfaces.
Comparing detailed design documents to the approved requirements specification.
Running acceptance tests with representative clinicians in a simulated clinical environment to ensure workflows meet user expectations.
Reviewing automated code-coverage reports to ensure the mandated percentage of statements were exercised.
Validation confirms that the completed system satisfies customer or end-user needs, often through acceptance testing in an operationally representative setting. Executing acceptance tests with intended clinicians in a simulated clinical environment demonstrates the system's fitness for use, so it is a validation activity. The other actions focus on demonstrating that the product was built correctly against specifications (design reviews, unit tests, code-coverage analysis) and therefore fall under verification, not validation.
