We often think about verification as something that is done toward the end of the development phase of a program, which must be concluded just prior to entering the operational phase. While that is true in terms of execution and reporting of the final, formal verification activities, in reality, the …

Systems engineers and systems architects have many architectures of which they need to be aware: there’s the architecture of the system-of-interest (or system under design), the architecture of the larger system in which the system-of-interest must operate (the context system), and the architecture of the enabling system (the enterprise or …

In model-based systems engineering, we tend to focus on requirements and design, but how many MBSE implementations consider aligning design with verification and validation (V&V)? The Vitech systems metamodel is especially capable of supporting V&V activities throughout the development lifecycle on either side of the “V.” Let’s take a look. …
