Verify与Validate的区别

Main Difference 

Verification and Validation are the terms used for the checking process of a software. Verification is the checking of a product or software at its development phase either it is being developed to meet the required specifications. Validation is the checking of a product or a software at the end of its development process either it is meets the customer’s demands and needs. First the verification is performed and then validation is performed.

What is Verification?

Verification is the checking of a product or software at its development phase either it is being developed to meet the required specifications. It involves meetings, reviews and inspections. It is carried by QA team. Plans, specifications, design and codes are evaluated.

What is Validation?

Validation is the checking of a product or a software at the end of its development process either it is meets the customer’s demands and needs. It involves testing of black box, white box, grey box etc. It is carried out by testing team. The actual software developed is evaluated or tested.

Key Differences

1. Verification is performed before validation is performed.
2. Verification is the checking specifications as per requirements while validation is the checking of the software either it meets the customer’s requirements.
3. Verification is carried out at development phase while validation is performed at final stage of software development.
4. Verification is carried out by QA team while validation is carried out by testing team.
5. In validation the execution of code is carried but in verification code is not executed.
6. Cost of errors detected verification is less than cost of errors detected in validation.
7. Inspection is done in verification but not in validation.
8. Testing like black box, white box etc. are carried out in validation but nor in verification.
9. Validation relates to the user either the product is accepted by user or not while verification relates to the design and specifications of software.

The debugging process:

何为老化，为什么要老化？

按照开发阶段划分的不同的软件测试方法

regression test

Regression Test（回归测试） 是软件测试中的一种测试类型，主要用于验证对软件代码的修改（如修复缺陷、新增功能或优化代码）没有破坏原有的功能。简而言之，它的核心目的是确保“新改动不会导致旧功能出问题”。

为什么需要回归测试？

• 当开发人员修改代码时，可能会无意中引入新的错误（比如影响其他模块的逻辑）。

• 例如：修复了“用户登录”功能的 Bug，却导致“注册”功能无法正常使用。回归测试会重新运行相关测试用例，检查这类问题。

回归测试的常见场景

1. Bug 修复后：确认修复的 Bug 没有复发，且未影响其他功能。

2. 新增功能后：确保新功能与旧功能兼容。

3. 代码重构后：优化代码结构时，需验证原有逻辑是否正常。

4. 环境变更后：如升级系统依赖库或更换硬件时。
