Verification & Validation
Prove It. Document It. Defend It.
Regulators do not approve intentions.
They approve evidence.
Verification and Validation (V&V) is where engineering decisions are tested, documented, and defended. Under IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 13485, and FDA expectations, V&V must demonstrate that:
• Requirements are fulfilled
• Risks are controlled
• Design outputs meet intended use
• Testing is structured and reproducible
• Results are traceable and reviewable
Ashoka was built to operationalize this discipline.
We help organizations transform fragmented testing activities into structured, defensible validation architecture.
Verification & Validation
-

Design It.
Verification begins long before execution.
We evaluate your V&V Master Plan, safety classification, and lifecycle documentation to ensure testing scope aligns with software risk classification and intended use.
We assess:
• Requirements-to-test coverage completeness
• Risk-to-test mapping integrity
• Safety classification alignment
• Verification depth proportional to risk
• Traceability matrix structure
• Configuration and baseline controlWeak V&V architecture creates regulatory vulnerability.
We ensure your validation strategy is structured before test execution begins.
-

Execute It.
Testing without traceability is noise.
We support structured execution through:
• Unit, integration, and system test protocol review
• Risk-based test prioritization
• Regression strategy alignment
• Acceptance criteria clarity
• Configuration-controlled test records
• Validation report defensibility
Every requirement must be testable.
Every test must be traceable.
Every failure must be documented and resolved through controlled processes.
We ensure your verification evidence tells a coherent technical story.
-

Defend It.
FDA reviewers and auditors look for patterns.
They assess whether validation demonstrates:
• Logical requirement coverage
• Adequate risk control verification
• Proper anomaly resolution
• Justified acceptance criteria
• Structured release approval
We provide structured V&V gap analysis and hands-on remediation support to:
• Close traceability gaps
• Strengthen risk verification alignment
• Rebuild incomplete test documentation
• Prepare validation summaries for submission
Whether preparing for 510(k), De Novo, PMA, or ISO certification, we ensure your V&V framework is defensible under scrutiny.
Evidence-based. Traceable. Inspection-ready.
