Verification & Validation..

VERIFICATION & VALIDATION

Verification is the process of confirming that software meets its specification. It involves reviews and meetings to evaluate documents, plans, code, requirements, and specifications. This can be done with checklists, issues lists, walkthroughs, and inspection meetings..

Validation is the process of confirming that it meets the user’s requirements. Validation typically involves actual testing and takes place after verifications are completed.

For Example: -

The Hubble space telescope was launched into the orbit around the earth, and it uses the large mirror to magnify the objects. Extreme precision and accuracy was the major concern for the construction of the mirror, but actually testing the mirror was not feasible. Therefore, the only means to check it was to carefully measure all its attributes and compare the measurements with the specifications.

After the measurements, as soon as it was launched, the images it returned was out of focus. The reason for this was improper manufacturing of the mirror. This confirmed that the mirror met the specifications but not the requirements i.e. Verification was fine, but it was not validated. Therefore, the difference in Verification and Validation is:

Verification: Are we building the product right?
Validation: Are we building the right product?

How to convert Excel column numbers into alphabetical characters

 The ConvertToLetter function works by using the following algorithm: Divide the column number by 27, and then put the resulting integer in the variable "i". Subtract the column number from "i" multiplied by 26, and then put the result in the variable "j". Convert the integer values into their corresponding alphabetical characters, "i" and "j" will range from 0 to 26 respectively. For example: The column number is 30. The column number is divided by 27: 30 / 27 = 1.1111, rounded down by the Int function to "1". i = 1 Next Column number - (i * 26) = 30 -(1 * 26) = 30 - 26 = 4. j = 4 Convert the values to alphabetical characters separately, i = 1 = "A" j = 4 = "D" Combined together, they form the column designator "AD". The following VBA function is just one way to convert column number values into their equivalent alphabetical charac...
