Verification System

A Verification System is a control system that evaluates and validates processes, outputs, or states against defined requirements and specifications.

• AKA: Validation System, Checking System, Assessment System.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) evaluate System Output through validation criteria.
  • It can (typically) confirm System State through state checking.
  • It can (typically) assess System Process through process validation.
  • It can (typically) detect Requirement Violations through compliance checking.
  • It can (typically) generate Verification Reports through assessment protocols.
  • ...
  • It can (often) maintain Verification Logs through logging mechanisms.
  • It can (often) trigger Corrective Actions through response protocols.
  • It can (often) support Compliance Audits through audit trails.
  • It can (often) perform Regression Testing through test automation.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Verifier to being a Complex Verifier, depending on its verification scope.
  • It can range from being a Static Verification System to being a Dynamic Verification System, depending on its verification timing.
  • It can range from being a Manual Verification System to being an Automated Verification System, depending on its automation level.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Monitoring Systems for continuous assessment.
  • It can connect to Reporting Systems for result documentation.
  • It can support Alert Systems for notification handling.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Software Verification Systems, such as:
    • Code Verification Tools, such as:
      • Static Code Analyzer, performing code analysis for quality assurance.
      • Unit Test Framework, enabling automated testing for code validation.
    • Runtime Verification Tools, such as:
      • Java Assertion System, providing runtime checking for code execution.
      • Memory Leak Detector, monitoring memory usage for resource management.
  • Hardware Verification Systems, such as:
    • Circuit Testers, such as:
      • Logic Analyzer, validating digital circuits for signal integrity.
      • Boundary Scan Tester, checking circuit boards for manufacturing defects.
  • AI System Verifiers, such as:
    • Model Verification Tools, such as:
      • Output Validator, checking model outputs for accuracy.
      • Bias Detection System, analyzing model behavior for fairness.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Monitoring Systems, which only observe without validation.
  • Documentation Systems, which record without verification.
  • Analysis Systems, which examine without explicit validation criteria.
• See: Quality Assurance System, Testing System, Validation Framework, Assessment System, Audit System.
