Validation : Are we building the right product?

Verification : Are we building the product right?

Verification, as defined by IEEE/ANSI, is the process of evaluating a system or component to

determine whether the products of a given development phase satisfy the conditions imposed at
the start of that phase.
Tests the Software Product

Validation, as defined by IEEE/ANSI, is the process of evaluating a system or component during

or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies specified requirements.
Tests the Software Design

Load Testing: A load Testing emulates user activity and analyzes effect of real-world user
environment on an application

Load Testing can offer proof that an intranet or Internet application will work properly and will not
produce work stoppages or unacceptable poor performance

Stress Testing :Stress Tests are designed to confronts Program functions with abnormal
situations

Stress Testing executes a system in a manner that demands resources in abnormal quantity,
frequency or volume

Performance Testing : Performance Testing is designed to test run-time performance of

Software within the context of an integrated System

Regression Testing- Regression Testing is the process of validating modified Software to

provide confidence that the changed parts of the Software behave as intended and that the
unchanged parts of the Software have not been adversely affected by the modification
