Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V)
IV&V is succinctly defined as the process of checking that a project, service, or system meets specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose. It is based on the use of an outside organization or vendor to review, inspect, assess, and test the work performed by a project team. The three components of IV&V can be defined as follows:
- Independent. Independent means that the process is independent, both managerially and financially, from the developer whose activities are being evaluated and that the staff members performing IV&V tasks are not the same staff members as those doing development tasks.
- Verification. In the context of IV&V, verification is defined as the process of evaluating software at the end of the software development process to ensure compliance with software requirements.
- Validation. In the context of IV&V, validation is defined as the process of determining whether the products of a given phase of the software development cycle fulfill the requirements for that cycle established in the previous phase.
One consistent theme of IV&V is the organization that performs it is independent of the project team and project management and is tasked with providing an unbiased assessment of the quality and readiness of the project deliverables, system, or whatever the project is chartered to produce. At Amerigo, we partner with leading organizations in the field of IV&V to provide support and source increasingly rare talent.
Organizational Change Management | Project Management
of Enterprise-wide Technology Implementations
Change management is the people side of change by applying a structured process and set of tools for preparing, equipping and supporting people to adopt and use a change to achieve a desired outcome. In the context of organizational changes, change management is about maximizing the people-dependent portion of a project or an initiative’s return on investment (ROI), the portion of total ROI that results from employees adopting and using the solution. Organizations can avoid costly failures of their IT implementations by preparing, equipping and enabling their people to adopt and use changes in their daily work. Without the human element, technology loses its value.
Quality Assurance & Testing
Software testing and quality assurance (QA) are two related but distinct processes within the software development life cycle. Software testing is the process of identifying and verifying that software applications or programs will meet the user’s requirements, and quality assurance is the process of ensuring that the software meets the set standards of quality. Both processes are essential for delivering a high-quality product.
Software testing is a technical process and involves the execution of tests to check the behavior of the software. It is done to identify the bugs and errors in the software. It involves creating test plans, writing test cases, and performing manual and automated tests to ensure the product meets its specified requirements.
Quality Assurance is a process-oriented approach that involves implementing best practices and process improvements to ensure the quality of the software. It includes activities such as requirements gathering, design review, code review, unit testing, system testing, integration testing, and regression testing.
