At what point in the software development process do verification and validation checking processes begin?

Only when the system is ready for release to customers

During the testing phase, which comes after design and implementation

As soon as requirements become available, continuing through all stages of development

Only after all code has been written and compiled

Correct Answer

As soon as requirements become available, continuing through all stages of development

Explanation

V&V checking processes start as soon as requirements become available and continue through all stages of the development process. This is why inspections can be applied to requirements and design artifacts long before any code is written.
