Joint Reviews, Audits, Verification, and Validation may be used as techniques of Quality Assurance. Verification Process (subclause 6.4). Defines the activities (for the acquirer, the supplier, or an independent party) for verifying the software products and services in varying dept depending on the software project. Validation Process (subclause 6.5). Defines the activities (for the acquirer, the supplier, or an independent party) for validating the software products of the software project. IEEE/EIA 12207.0 - 1997 Software Life Cycle Processes NDIA

Joint Review Process (subclause 6.6). Defines the activities for evaluating the status and products of an activity. This process may be employed by any two parties, where one party (reviewing party) reviews another party (reviewed party) in a joint forum. Audit Process (subclause 6.7).
