Great video, thanks a lot! Very informative and nicely narrowed down to the most important bits of the chapter, so it does not wear the lister down :)

My answers for the quiz are:

1. Verification is aimed at making sure that a product is built according to the requirements. And validation refers to the user's needs (which requirements are built upon), ensuring a product provides a solution to the problem.
2. The most known sequential models are Waterfall model and V-model (a bit more adaptive).
3. Working software is more valuable than comprehensive documentation.

Thank you for this video, great content, nice editing!

Hello, i am here to send you my quiz answers.

1. 'Verification is all about requirements'. So verification makes sure that we are going according to plan (specification). Validation is about business side of our software, it is about user's needs. Are we making our customers happy?

2. Waterfall model and her daughter V-model.

3. One of the Agile principles is
'Working software over COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTATION'

[МарияСлепченкова-яг]

1. If we talk about verification, we need to make sure that the software meets the requirements described in specification. Whereas validation requires aiming our work on the users’ needs and fulfilling them.
2. The waterfall model, where development activities are completed one after another.
The V-model, which integrates the test process throughout the development process
3. Working software over comprehensive documentation

Nice videos, but excessively high volume for the intro.

Hi all, there are with some latency my answers for the quiz:

1. Verification is a check that the product meets specifications, when validation is a check that the product meets user needs.
2. Two types of sequential models are Waterfall and V-model.
3. One of the Agile principles is "Working software is over comprehensive documentation".
