SP 1.2 Establish the Validation Environment SP 1.3 Establish Validation Procedures and Criteria SG 2 Validate Product or Product Components SP 2.1 Perform Validation SP 2.2 Analyze Validation Results Verification (VER) An Engineering process area at Maturity Level 3PurposeThe purpose of Verification (VER) is to ensure that selected work products meet their specified requirements.Specific Practices by Goal''' SG 1 Prepare for Verification SP 1.1 Select Work Products for Verification SP 1.2 Establish the Verification Environment SP 1.3 Establish Verification Procedures and Criteria SG 2 Perform Peer Reviews SP 2.1 Prepare for Peer Reviews SP 2.2 Conduct Peer Reviews SP 2.3 Analyze Peer Review Data SG 3 Verify Selected Work Products SP 3.1 Perform Verification SP 3.2 Analyze Verification Results Changes made in Version 1.2 Only changes made to the set of Process Areas are considered here. For more information about the changes made to Version 1.2, see the Version 1.2 Release Notes or for the definitive list of changes, take the CMMI Version 1.2 Upgrade Training. The following Process Areas have been removed (all on Maturity Level 3): Organisational Environment for Integration (OEI) Integrated Teaming (IT) Integrated Supplier Management (ISM) The following additions have been made within existing Process Areas: IPM – SG3 and SG4 were eliminated, new SG3 was added (as an IPPD addition) OPD – SG2 was added (as an IPPD addition) OPF – two SPs were extracted from the old SG3 and combined with two new SPs to create the new SG3 REQD – SP3.5 was renamed Validate Requirements SAM – SP2.1 was eliminated, two new SPs added in SG2 TS – SP1.2 was incorporated into RD SP 3.1 VER – SP3.2 was renamed Analyze Verification Results Changes made in Version 1.3 Some significant improvements in CMMI-DEV, V1.3 include the following: High maturity process areas are significantly improved to reflect industry best practices, including a new specific goal and several new specific practices in the process area that was renamed from Organizational Innovation and Deployment (OID) to Organizational Performance Management (OPM). Agile practices have been included with an interpretation guideline and by adding notes to the applicable process areas in the introduction of the process area and on how to interpret agile practices. Improvements were made to the model architecture that simplify the use of multiple models. Informative material was improved, including revising the engineering practices to reflect industry best practice and adding guidance for organizations that
