Independent
Testing & QA
Objective testing of system functionality and quality, conducted by a team with no stake in build decisions.
Independent Verification & Validation
Independent Assurance You Can Count On
The Challenges
Large-scale technology programs carry risks across requirements, architecture, development, testing, security, and deployment. When quality and readiness are assessed only within the delivery process, issues can stay hidden until late in the program, when they cost the most to fix. Independent verification and validation provides objective oversight to identify risks earlier, validate requirements and quality, and improve confidence in your programs readiness.
Our Approach
InfoPeople provides an independent, evidence-based assessment of program quality, risk, and readiness, separate from the teams responsible for system delivery. Our approach evaluates requirements, design, testing, performance, compliance, and implementation readiness to give your stakeholders objective visibility throughout the program lifecycle.
Our Independent Verification & Validation Capabilities
Independent
Requirements &
Design Validation
Verifying that requirements are complete and testable, and that the design satisfies them before gaps turn into costly rework.
Risk-Based Assessment
& Audit Support
Structured risk assessments and documentation to support internal audits or regulatory review of program status.
Test Automation &
AI-Driven QA
Automated and AI-assisted testing approaches that increase coverage and catch issues faster than manual testing alone.
Regulatory
Compliance Validation
Assessing whether your system meets the specific regulatory or contractual requirements that govern it.
Performance & Security Testing
Independent load, performance, and security testing to validate that your system is ready for production before it goes live.

FAQs
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) is the practice of having a team organizationally and functionally separate from a system's delivery team assess whether that system meets its requirements (verification) and fulfills its intended purpose (validation). IV&V is often mandated on large-scale, mission-critical, or government IT programs specifically because it removes the conflict of interest inherent in a vendor validating its own work. InfoPeople provides IV&V services including independent testing, requirements validation, and regulatory compliance assessment for enterprise and public-sector programs.
Verification confirms that a system was built correctly according to its specified requirements ("did we build the system right?"). Validation confirms the system actually meets the user's real needs and intended purpose ("did we build the right system?"). IV&V assesses both, independently.
On many government and public-sector IT programs, IV&V is a contractual or statutory requirement, particularly for large-scale or mission-critical systems. Requirements vary by agency, program size, and jurisdiction - InfoPeople can help confirm applicable requirements for a specific program.
Standard QA testing is typically performed by the delivery team building the system or by a group closely tied to it. IV&V is performed by a team that is organizationally and functionally independent from that delivery team, specifically to remove the conflict of interest inherent in self-assessment.
Ideally, at the requirements and design stage - not just before go-live. Starting IV&V early allows requirements gaps and design flaws to be caught while they're inexpensive to fix, rather than after significant development investment.
