Verfication Versus Validation

Verification ensures that the application complies to standards and processes. 
This answers the question " Did we build the right system? "

Eg: Design reveiws, code walkthroughs and inspections.

Validation ensures whether the application is built as per the plan. This answers
the question " Did we build the system in the right way? ".

Eg: Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing and 
UAT.
