In managing an audit process, "verification" is the act of reviewing, inspecting, and testing a product, service, or system to establish and document that it meets a regulatory standard or specification. By contrast, “validation” refers to reviewing, inspecting, and testing a product, service, or system to meet the needs of the intended end-user or customer. Both verification and validation are related to the concepts of quality and quality assurance which come as the end result of a properly managed audit process. By themselves, verification and validation do not guarantee quality or quality assurance; product audit processes rely on planning, traceability, configuration management and a committed staff.
