Content:
. The reviewer can either ask for the qualifications and resumes of the V&V personnel, or if sufficiently experienced, interview the V&V personnel to gauge their knowledge and experience. The reviewer should check that the SVVP requires the results of the V&V effort to be fully and carefully documented, and that each of the discrepancies be documented in a report, and those discrepancies be resolved, with the resolution documented, tested and accepted by the V&V organization. A significant contributor to problems found in final products has resulted from fixes to problems, where the fix itself did not go through the V&V process, was not properly tested, and therefore the additional problems created by the fix were not found. The SVVP should describe the V&V reporting requirements. It should require that reports document all V&V activities, including the personnel conducting the activities, procedures and results. This includes review documentation requirements, evaluation criteria, error reporting, and anomaly resolution procedures. V&V reports should summarize the positive practices and findings as well as negative practices and findings. The reports should summarize the actions performed and the methods and tools used.
