Agile V&V – Coming Soon to IEEE-1012!!

GreenDart has been a contributor to the IEEE-1012 Verification and Validation standard since 2012. For the past years we have strongly promoted the addition of an Agile V&V annex to that standard. Good news – if all goes well the next release of the standard will have an Agile V&V annex. GreenDart, along with a select group of IEEE-1012 members, is authoring that annex. The following figure contrasts traditional Waterfall and Agile system development methodologies, and is expected to be included in the upcoming IEEE-1012 release:

Agile V&V shares many strategies with the traditional V&V method. However, the development tempo of Agile, and the artifacts created during that process, require a different approach to achieve the desired V&V outcomes. As an example, the Sprint V&V process focuses on the pre-Sprint artifacts, to include analysis and assessments of the defined User Stories, the alignment with current development Product Backlog (PBL) and the metrics used to drive both the User Stories and PBL strategies.

GreenDart has significant experience performing Agile V&V for the most critical systems. We are experts in the Agile life cycle development strategy and have received awards for the planning, execution and reporting of complex Agile V&V efforts. How can we help you?
