The VIVA Method: A Life-Cycle Independent Approach to KBS Validation
Steven A. Wells · 1993
This paper describes the VIVA method; a life-cycle independent method for the validation of Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS). The method based upon the VIVA validation framework, a set of products by which a KBS development can be described. By assessing properties of these prod-ucts, and properties of the links between the prod-ucts, a framework for validation throughout the KBS life-cycle is defined.
