Flow 1 Plan Verification Activities
This stage entails outlining the activities required to verify the designated verification items. A summary of this process involves identifying the verification items, determining the appropriate activities for each item, and establishing a plan outlining the steps and runs necessary to execute these activities effectively. This phase sets the foundation for the subsequent execution of verification tasks that could be done through compliance with files or test or manual verification flow.
The key steps of the workflow are presented below.
Plan Verification Activity
This flow forms the basis for other flows, which involves creating a verification activity in the V&V module, adding the requirements and Blocks to the verification items within the V&V module or from the requirements module, and creating a pre-planned run with a start date and end.
The slideshow below demonstrates how to create a new V&V activity and assign methods, requirements, components, and test runs to it. This forms the basis for subsequent flows.
To create a new V&V activity, click the 
button when in the V&V Module.
In the window that opens, define the folder, name, and description of the new V&V activity and then click the 
button. This creates a new V&V activity where you can add all the verification items (requirements and blocks) to the V&V activity and perform the V&V different flows.
To add the verification items, i.e., Requirement and Blocks, navigate to the Requirement Statuses view. Click the 
button to add a Requirement to the V&V activity. The V&V activity can be assigned to the requirement in the requirements module as well.
The sections below details how to perform verification activities.
Create Verification Activity
To start, you need to create a new verification activity in the system. This activity consists of verification tasks you will perform on the requirements and Blocks. To create a verification activity, navigate to the Verifications and Validations module (
) and click the 
button.
On the Activity Info view, you can input descriptions, expected results, and methods associated with the activity, as well as assign relevant tags. Additionally, you can enable approval requirements for the activity by enabling the Enable approvals for this Activity option.
Create a Planned Run
Once the V&V activity is created, an “initial run” is automatically created within the runs sections of the V&V activity. If the schedule for the planned runs is known already, you can create the runs along with the start and end dates and use them later for different milestones.
Add Requirements and Blocks to Verification Item
In the V&V activity, you can navigate to the Requirement Statuses view to add requirements and Blocks to the activity. To create a V&V Item, you can click the 
button. This will open a window where you can input the requirement and the optional Block.
The dashboard and Insights feature on the Requirements module now shows the number of requirements not assigned to an activity and the number of requirements with their current verification status.
