Hey Everyone!
With a few years of QA and dev experience under my belt, here’s how I usually explain it — the practical definition for verification is ensuring we’re building the product right. It’s an internal check — we review requirements, run static analysis, do code walkthroughs — to catch issues early before they snowball. Validation, on the flip side, is when we step into the user’s shoes to ask: ‘Did we build what they actually needed?’ Think usability tests, real-world trials — that kind of stuff.
