Definition
Verification is the process of determining if an implemented model or software system is consistent with its specifications. (“Was the model made right?”)
Why It Matters
Verification ensures there are no coding bugs, logic errors, or mathematical calculation mistakes in the model’s implementation, preventing false simulation results.
Core Concepts
- Code Verification: Reviewing and debugging code, checking numerical solver accuracy, and running unit tests.
- Specification Check: Comparing model behavior directly with flowcharts, math equations, and logic definitions.
