Validation and Verification for System Development – MATLAB & Simulink

An approach to validating and verifying system development is the V-model.

V-Model for System Development

The V-model is a representation of system development that highlights verification and
validation steps in the system development process. The left side of the ‘V’ identifies
steps that lead to code generation, including system specification and detailed software
design. The right side of the V focuses on the verification and validation of steps cited on
the left side, including software and system integration.

Depending on your application and its role in the process, you might focus on one or more of
the steps called out in the V-model or repeat steps at several stages of the V-model. Code
generation technology and related products provide tooling that you can apply to the V-model
for system development. For more information about how you can apply MathWorks® code generation technology and related products to the V-model process,
