Augmentation of Current Verification and Validation Practices
Kareem Ammar, Laura Pullum, Brian J. Taylor · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
This chapter has revealed several gaps in current V&V practices for adaptive systems, and has shown augmentations to traditional V&V processes to satisfy these gaps. Through the mapping of software V&V standards, process guidance, previous research, and IFCS documentation, a guidance document was formulated to augment current V&V practices to accommodate the characteristics of neural networks or adaptive systems. The guidance document [ISR 2005] embodies a comprehensive methodology for the V&V of neural networks and gives the V&V practitioner direction on how to augment established V&V processes to address neural networks or adaptive components within a system.
