  • V Model in SDLC | Verification & Validation

        • V Model can also be called as Sequential Development Model .
        • V Model in software engineering came up in order to overcome the drawback of waterfall Model .
        • In V Model process executes in a sequential manner in V-shape.
        • V –Model is based on the association of a testing phase for each corresponding development stage.
        • In V –Model development of each step directly associated with the testing phase
        • SDLC V Model contains Verification phases on one side of the Validation phases on the other side.
        • Verification and Validation process is joined by coding phase in V-shape. So it is called as V-Model.
        • In V Model, testing team involves in the early phases of SDLC and Testing starts in early stages of product development which avoids downward flow of defects.

    Phases of Verification of V-model:

    V Model in SDLC

    1) Business requirements: 

      • It is a step where product Business requirements understood from the customer’s side so the requirements are collected and analyzed.
      • Requirements reviews is the verification Activity
      • Creation of UAT test cases is the validation activity.

    2) System Design or High-level design:

      • The team studies and investigates on how the requirements could be implemented and how team can implement technically.
      • In this stage test team analyse and interpret the business of the proposed system by studying the user requirements document.
      • System Design reviews is the verification activity
      • System test plan, test cases, and traceability metrics is the validation activities 

    3) Architecture Design:

      • System design is divided further into modules taking up different functionalities.
      • The data transfer and communication between the modules or systems is clearly understood.
      • The integration-testing model is carried out this phase.
      • Review HLD is the verification activity.
      • Write Integration test plan and test cases are the validation activity. 

    4) Module Design or low level design :

      • In this phase, the system breaks down into small modules.
      • The detailed design of the modules is specified.
      • Methods, classes, data types, interfaces, etc. are all finalised in this phase.
      • Review LLD is the verification activity.
      • Write Functional test plan and test cases is the validation activity. 

    5) Coding or implementation:

      • Once the coding language is finalised, coding is started with some guidelines and standards.
      • Code review, test cases review is the verification activity
      • Creation of functional test cases is the validation activity.

    Phases of Validation of V-model:

    Unit Testing:

      • Unit testing is carried out during the development of module design.
      • Unit test cases are executed for removing bugs that are found in code at the development phase.
      • Unit Test Plans are developed during the module design phase.
      • Unit testing verifies that each module can function correctly

    Integration Testing:

      • Integration Test Plan is developed during the Architectural Design Phase.
      • Integration testing is carried out where the integration of modules in the system is tested.

    System Testing:

      • System Tests Plans are developed during System Design Phase.
      • The actual and full testing of the application takes place.
      • The traceability metrics are updated to check the coverage and risk mitigated.

    Acceptance Testing:

      • Acceptance testing is related to the business requirement analysis part.
      • Acceptance testing is done to validate that the business requirements are met in the user environment.
      • Functional testing and sometimes nonfunctional testing are also carried out in this phase.

    Advantages of V Model:

      • Investment and re-work is less.
      • Testing is involved in every stage so produced quality product.
      • Test team will be ready with the test cases by the time developers release the software which in turns saves a lot of time
      • Easy to manage as each phase has well defined objectives and goals

    Disadvantages of V Model:

      • It is not a good for a complex project.
      • Initial investment is more because test team involves right from the early stage.
      • If any changes happen in the middle, then the testing documents and other related documents needs to be updated

    When to use the V-Model??

      • For small to medium sized projects where requirements are clearly defined and fixed.
      • Chosen when sample technical resources are available with essential technical expertise.
