Test and Evaluation, Independent Verification and Validation

We develop test plans, perform test and evaluation, and independent verification and validation of designs and products.  Our services include safety analysis of new designs and existing or modified systems. 

 

Key Benefits

• Systems are tested to determine if they meet the performance specifications operating in the real-world environment, demonstrate the required reliability, are maintainable, and meet the maintainability and availability design parameters.

• Independent verification and validation of systems (hardware, software, and integrated system) makes sure that the system conforms to the design specifications, tolerates expected faults, and continue to operate safely when unexpected faults occur.

Capabilities

Test and Evaluation

We develop test plans for validation of system performance, reliability, and maintainability.  We analyze test data, and prepare test reports.

Independent Verification and Validation

Complex software embedded in real-time systems undergoes extensive analysis and testing to verify that it performs all required functions, and provides correct outputs in the presence of multiple hardware and software faults.

Safety Analysis

We perform safety analyses using Failure Mode and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) software tools, modeling and simulation of the system before it is built, during test and integration, and after it becomes operational.  We have successfully found faults in software, and hardware/software interaction that could or did cause accidents.
