A product can be developed that does not match the original specifications. This step ensures that the specifications are properly met.<br \/>\nValidation determines if the product provides the necessary solution intended real-world problem. In large projects, it is easy to lose sight of overall goal. This exercise ensures that the main goal of the project is met.<br \/>\nFrom DITSCAP:<br \/>\n6.3.2. Phase 2, Verification. The Verification phase shall include activities to verify compliance of the system with previously agreed security requirements. For each life-cycle development activity, DoD Directive 5000.1 (reference (i)), there is a corresponding set of security activities, enclosure 3, that shall verify compliance with the security requirements and evaluate vulnerabilities.<br \/>\n6.3.3. Phase 3, Validation. The Validation phase shall include activities to evaluate the fully integrated system to validate system operation in a specified computing environment with an acceptable level of residual risk. Validation shall culminate in an approval to operate.<br \/>\nYou must also be familiar with Verification and Validation for the purpose of the exam. A simple definition for Verification would be whether or not the developers followed the design specifications along with the security requirements. A simple definition for Validation would be whether or not the final product meets the end user needs and can be use for a specific purpose.<br \/>\nWikipedia has an informal description that is currently written as: Validation can be expressed by the query &#8220;Are you building the right thing?&#8221; and Verification by &#8220;Are you building it right?<br \/>\nNOTE: DITSCAP was replaced by DIACAP some time ago (2007). While DITSCAP had defined both a verification and a validation phase, the DIACAP only has a validation phase. It may not make a difference in the answer for the exam; however, DIACAP is the cornerstone policy of DOD C&#038;A and IA efforts today. Be familiar with both terms just in case all of a sudden the exam becomes updated with the new term.<br \/>\nReference(s) used for this question:<br \/>\nHarris, Shon (2012-10-18).
