/in /by

At PAG Electronics, we offer a comprehensive range of testing, verification, and validation services to ensure that your products meet all functional, regulatory, and performance standards before moving into full production. Serving clients across China, Europe, USA, Canada, and Australia, we help identify potential issues and ensure that your product is reliable, compliant, and ready for the market.

We work with both electronic and mechanical products, providing in-depth testing at every stage of development, from early prototypes to final products. Our goal is to guarantee that your product meets industry standards and performs as expected in real-world conditions.

What are Testing, Verification, and Validation?

Testing, Verification, and Validation (TV&V) are critical processes in product development aimed at ensuring that a product meets design specifications, functions as intended, and satisfies user requirements.

  • Testing: Systematic evaluation to identify defects and verify functionality under defined conditions.
  • Verification: Confirms that the product has been designed and built correctly to meet specifications.
  • Validation: Ensures the product fulfills its intended purpose and meets customer needs.

Why are Testing, Verification, and Validation Important?

These processes are essential for delivering high-quality, reliable products. They help identify and rectify issues early, ensuring compliance with standards, minimizing risks, and reducing costs associated with recalls or field failures. TV&V enhances user satisfaction and trust by delivering a robust and reliable product.

Who is in Charge of Testing, Verification, and Validation?

TV&V is performed by quality assurance engineers, test engineers, and design teams. They collaborate to create comprehensive test plans, execute tests, and analyze results. Independent validation teams or third-party testers may also be involved to ensure impartiality.

At Which Stage of the Product Development Process are TV&V Addressed?

TV&V processes are integrated throughout the product lifecycle:

  • Testing: Conducted during prototyping and production phases.
  • Verification: Performed during design and development stages.
  • Validation: Finalized before product launch and during field trials.

How Do We Perform Testing, Verification, and Validation?

Our approach includes:

  • Defining clear requirements and creating detailed test plans.
  • Executing functional, performance, environmental, and stress tests.
  • Using automated tools and advanced equipment for precise testing.
  • Simulating real-world conditions to validate product performance.
  • Documenting results, analyzing data, and providing actionable feedback.

Typical Mistakes Related to TV&V

  • Inadequate test coverage, leading to undetected defects.
  • Failing to define clear acceptance criteria for validation.
  • Relying solely on manual testing without leveraging automation.
  • Skipping testing phases to meet tight deadlines.
  • Inconsistent documentation, making it difficult to trace issues.

How Do We Avoid TV&V Mistakes?

We mitigate mistakes by:

  • Developing comprehensive test plans with robust coverage.
  • Using automated testing tools to improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • Defining clear requirements and acceptance criteria from the start.
  • Performing iterative testing at every development stage.
  • Maintaining detailed documentation for traceability and accountability.
