Design Validation (validation testing or qualification)

Process of proving a design by testing to demonstrate conformity of the product to design requirements.

  • NOTE: Design validation can include one or more of the following (this is not an all-inclusive list):
  1. prototype tests,
  2. functional and/or operational tests of production products,
  3. tests specified by industry standards and/or regulatory requirements,

d) field performance tests and reviews

Design Validation

Process of examining the result of design and development output to determine conformity with specified requirements.

NOTE Design verification activities can include one or more of the following (this is not an all-inclusive list):

  1. confirming the accuracy of design results through the performance of alternative calculations,
  2. review of design output documents independent of activities of design and development,
  3. comparing new designs to similar proven designs.
