Software IV&V
IV&V Australia provide software verification and validation consulting to companies undertaking medical device developments in a regulatory environment. We provide support to project offices and prime contractors to help ensure that projects proceed to final acceptance in a systematic manner. That is, project milestones are met, deliverables are acceptable, and risks are effectively managed.
What is Software IV&V
- IV&V stands for independent verification & validation
- IV&V is the process of:
- verifying that the output of each software phase meets its requirements, and
- validating that the software, at the end of the development effort, meets the overall project objectives.
What can we do for you?
- Strategic reviews: Review project plans and schedules (ie, development, test, management) to ensure that they are effective and are being followed.
- Requirements tracing: Review requirements coverage to ensure that contractual requirements are being carried through to implementation and testing.
- Document and process reviews: Review technical documentation to ensure completeness and appropriateness of design and test documentation and conformance with applicable standards.
- Risk management: Review project processes and artefacts to identify risks and ensure that effective risk management is occurring.
- Acquisition assistance: Develop acquisition risk management plans, provide subject matter expertise in design, development and test product evaluations, review test readiness data, and develop and run independent product tests.
- Software strategy and product evaluation (Technical due diligence): Provide independent assessment of claims being made about development capability and/or products under development.
