difference between verification and testing

[balavinayagam]

What is the difference between verification and testing?. IS verification done only once and testing many times ??

 

[srhoar]

Verification is the check that all your input to a product are correct.

You verify that the material, process, and tools are correct and that the output in terms of the defined instructions are also correct.

How do you verify those, with tests!

Now, do not confuse verification and validation.

Verification checks that you are making the product correct.
Validation checks that you are making the correct product.

These can be confusing.

If you need more, let me know.

In simple words we can say that..
Verification is a Offchip checking of correctness of the design
Validation is the Onchip checking of the correctness of the design

According to ISTQB (more related to software but applied to embedded systems as well) Verification is building the product right.
Many techniques are used to verify one of them is testing.
