Difference between Validation and Verification

Verification takes place before validation, and not vice versa. Verification
evaluates documents, plans, code, requirements and specifications.
Validation evaluates the product itself. The input of verification are
checklists, issue lists, walkthroughs and inspection meetings, reviews and
meetings. The input of validation is the actual testing of an actual
product. The output of verification is a nearly perfect set of documents,
plans, specifications and requirements.
Verification: is done to ensure that it meets the specifications.
Validation: is done to ensure that it meets the customer requirements.
Vefication: Checks consistency of the application with the i/p
Validation: Checks Consistency of the application with the User
Requirements.
Verification : Are we building the product right.
Validation : Are we building the right product.
Verfication comes after the validation.
Verification is examination of process and validation is execution of
process.
Verification is nothing but the Static Testing and Validation is nothing but
the Dynamic Testing
Verification : Typically involves reviews and meetings to evaluate
documents plans code requirements and specifications. This can be done
with checklists issues lists walk-throughs and inspection meetings.
Validation : Typically involves actual testing and takes place after
verifications are completed.
Verification is a process to define pre-define activity i.e. (before testing
process starts check whether all relavent documents are prepared and
ensure that standard which we create to meet the requirement) to
prepare a application.
Validation: its a process to test the application and deliver error free
application
