Introduction

The process of provided that confirmation that the software and its connected products satisfy
system requirements allocated to software at the end of each life-cycle action, solve the accurate
problem (e.g., correctly model physical laws, implement business rules, use proper system
assumptions), and satisfy intended use and user needs.
A more generic definition of corroboration is “the steps and the process needed to ensure that
the system configuration, as designed, meets all requirements initially specified by the customer.”
