The IV&V Facility was founded under the NASA Office of Safety and Mission Assurance in the aftermath of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster . The IV&V Facility houses over 150 full time employees. Purpose Its purpose is to provide a higher level of safety and efficiency for mission critical software . Using a rigorous software engineering approach both ground and in flight software systems are independently evaluated during planning, coding and testing in an effort to circumvent mission failure, the loss of equipment or personnel, and to meet time and cost constraints. All phases of software development are examined concept, requirements, design, coding, testing and operation. Human operated software, robotic software, instrument software and data analysis software may all be assigned to IV&V by NASA. The IV&V Facility s efforts have contributed to NASA s improved safety record since the facility s inception.

A Hardware Verification Language , or HVL , is a programming language used to verify the designs of electronic circuits written in a hardware description language . HVLs typically include features of a high level programming language like C or Java programming language Java as well as features for easy bit level manipulation similar to those found in hardware description language HDLs . Many HVLs will provide constrained random stimulus generation, and functional coverage constructs to assist with complex hardware verification. SystemVerilog , OpenVera , e verification language e , and SystemC are the most commonly used HVLs. ref http theasicguy.com 2009 02 03 verification methodology poll The ASIC Guy Verification Poll ref ref http theasicguy.com 2009 01 27 dvcon survey results what do they mean DVCon Language Poll ref SystemVerilog attempts to combine HDL and HVL constructs into a single standard.

Dynamic timing verification refers to verifying that an ASIC design is fast enough to run without errors at targeted clock rate. This is accomplished by simulating the design files used to synthesize the Integrated Circuit design. This is in contrast to static timing analysis which has a similar goal as dynamic timing verification except does not require simulating the real functionality of the IC. ref ASIC world vol 10 , page 13, October 2003 ref Hobbies often perform a type of Dynamic timing verification when they over clock the CPU in their computer in order to find the fast clock rate at which they can run the CPU without errors. This is a type of dynamic timing verification that is performed after the silicon is manufactured. In field of ASIC design, this timing verification is preferably performed before manufacturing the IC in order to make sure that IC works under the required conditions before mass production of the IC. ref ASIC world vol 10 , page 13, October 2003 ref References Reflist Category Timing in electronic circuits Category Formal methods ... more details

Orphan date December 2010 primarysources date May 2009 ISVV stands for Independent Software Verification and Validation . ISVV is targeted at safety critical software systems and aims to increase the quality of software products, thereby reducing risks and costs through the operational life of the software. ISVV provides assurance that software performs to the specified level of confidence and within its designed parameters and defined requirements. ISVV activities are performed by independent engineering teams, not involved in the software development process, to assess the processes and the resulting products. The ISVV team independency is performed at three different levels financial, managerial and technical. ISVV goes far beyond traditional verification and validation techniques, applied by development teams. While the latter aim to ensure that the software performs well against the nominal requirements, ISVV is focused on non functional requirements such as robustness and reliability, and on conditions that can lead the software to fail.

Identity verification service is online service used to establish a mapping from a person s online identity to their Real life reality real life identity. These services are used by some social networking sites , Internet forum s, dating site s and wiki s to stop sockpuppetry , underage SignUps, spamming and illegal activities like harassment and scams. The identity confirmation process requires the individual whose identity is to be confirmed to provide personal data online, to the identity verification firm. The firm then checks public and private databases for a match and prompts the user to answer questions based on the records. An identity score is calculated, and the identity of the online user is either given the verified status, or not, based on the score. ref name JG cite web url http www.readwriteweb.com archives nobody knows youre a dog.php title Nobody Knows You re A Dog 2.0 last Gupta first Jitendra date January 29, 2007 publisher ReadWriteWeb accessdate 2009 07 10 ref ref name TW cite web url http www.computerworld.com s article 76558 VeriSign unveils new online identity verification services title VeriSign unveils new online identity verification services last Weiss first Todd date December 10, 2002 publisher ComputerWorld accessdate 2009 07 10 ref References Reflist Internet stub Category Internet privacy ms Perkhidmatan pengesahan identiti ... more details
Unbalanced date April 2011 High level verification HLV , or electronic system level verification, is the task to verify ESL designs at high abstraction level. i.e. it is the task to verify a model that represents hardware above register transfer level abstract level. For HLS High level synthesis or c synthesis , HLV is to HLS as functional verification is to logic synthesis . Electronic digital hardware design has evolved from low level abstraction at digital electronics gate level to register transfer level RTL , the abstraction level above RTL is commonly called high level, ESL, or behavioral algorithmic level. In High level synthesis , behavioral algorithmic designs in ANSI C C SystemC code is synthesized to RTL, which is then synthesized into gate level through logic synthesis . Functional verification is the task to make sure a design at RTL or gate level conforms to a specification. As logic synthesis matures, most functional verification is done at the higher abstraction, i.e. at RTL level, the correctness of logic synthesis tool in the translating process from RTL description to gate netlist is a less concern today. High level synthesis is still an emerging technology, so High level verification today has two important areas under development br 1 to validate HLS is correct in the translation process, i.e. to validate the design before and after HLS are equivalent, typically through formal methods br 2 to verify a design in ANSI C C SystemC code is conforming to a specification, typically through simulation .
