Abstract

The National Bureau of Standards' Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology (NBS/ICST) has sponsored the development of a general guideline for computer software verification and validation (V&V). The guideline is to be used by government and commercial personnel to plan, carry out, and assess V&V activities. This paper outlines the scope, direction, and status of this effort. A lifecycle V&V model which forms the basis of the guideline is described. It is the author's conviction that planning for V&V is an aspect of software development management, and that substantial, cost-effective technology is readily available for general application. The guideline to disseminate this information has been developed.
