What?s the difference between Testing & Verification?

Answer Posted / john

Testing is the process of identifying defects in a product.
Verification is the process of ensuring that the product
complies with its specification. Validation is the process
of ensuring that the product meets the users' needs.
Although linked, these are obviously separate. A product may
be defect free but not what was specified or needed; it may
have defects and be not as specified, but may still meet
user need; it may meet specification, but have defects and
not meet the users' need (probably the most common outcome
of software projects!).
