ISVV
Critical is a renowned Independent Software Verification & Validation provider (ISVV). Our ISVV services work on requirements analysis, design analysis, code analysis and validation.
These four phases can be performed separately or together and executed alongside the software development project or later, as part of the software product acceptance phase. ISVV goes far beyond traditional Verification & Validation techniques applied by development teams. While these techniques aim to ensure the software performs well against nominal requirements, Critical focuses on non-functional requirements, such as robustness and reliability, and on conditions that can cause the software to break. ISVV findings are then fed back to development teams for correction and improvement.
ISVV provides the assurance that the software will perform at the specified confidence level and within the designed parameters and defined requirements. ISVV is carried out by financially, managerially and technically independent engineering teams. These teams work outside the software development process to assess the processes and the resulting products.
Applying ISVV methodology to systems leads to increased software dependability and simplification of software architectures, and results in increased maintainability and usability. Higher reuse capability is also achieved, facilitating future developments, providing greater independence from software providers, and offering improved knowledge and operation of the system.
