Experimental validation of electromagnetic software

Abstract While the last decade has seen an explosion in the availability of microwave software, experimental validation efforts have seen little effort. As a result, most published validation efforts are, justifiably, viewed with skepticism. Thus, when an analysis is to be validated, it must be validated again and again for, and by, each group of users, often at considerable expense. This article describes areas for improvement of validation techniques, with examples drawn from current literature. The ultimate objective in the field of experimental validation is to evaluate a test suite with such quality that multiple validations no longer need be performed by each user.
