When The MathWorks introduced Matlab technical-computing software more than 20 years ago, many of the first users were control-system designers. Anyone who had laboriously inverted matrices by hand to ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

Verification and validation are two important steps in the creations of electronic systems and over time their roles, but how they play together is changing. In fact, today we are seeing a major ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the backbone of modern industrial automation, orchestrating critical operations across diverse sectors. As these controllers become increasingly complex, ...

From my product development experiences, entering into Design Verification and Design Validation is always bittersweet. Exciting because yes, to get to Design Verification means that we have ...

While often used intermixed, verification and validation are quite different procedures with different goals and different means to achieve those goals. No better way to clear up the confusion by ...

When it comes to verification and validation, medical device companies need to ensure that what they're doing actually makes sense. Known colloquially as "V&V," for many it feels like you're on the ...

Verification expert Dr. Lauro Rizzatti debunks the myths surrounding the two tool classes of HAV platforms—hardware emulators and FPGA prototypes. What are hardware emulators and FPGA prototypes? Who ...

Every product has defects. Finding them as early in the development process as possible is definitely something to strive for. Building quality into software as it's being developed is far more ...
