Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)
Skapex has been an innovator in the field of IV&V. We helped our Federal Government customer implement the first-ever Agile IV&V Framework. IV&V, in general, has two primary functions. Verification confirms that the system is being developed to specifications—in other words, that the system is being built right. Validation evaluates the software products to ensure they meet the needs of the mission and the customer—in other words, that the right system is being built.
​
Skapex builds IV&V into the life cycle at every step of the process.
