The IV&V Group® is a woman-owned small business with headquarters in Northern Virginia. This unique company began a number of years ago when its founder, Eva Freund, realized that there were no firms specializing in independent verification and validation while there were many consulting firms that undertook verification and validation as part of a larger program management effort or undertook testing under the guise of verification and validation.

The IV&V Group views independent verification and validation as the ultimate risk management strategy for any system and software development effort. By performing an early assessment of development life cycle products we identify risks to schedule, budget, and performance and immediately bring these to the attention of management along with recommendations for mitigation. From planning to implementation to control of the project, the IV&V Group, Inc. serves as the eyes and ears of management.

The IV&V Group provides an array of independent verification and validation services to organizations seeking big company capability at small company fees by providing subject matter experts who get the job done within schedule and budget constraints without the levels of overhead endemic to larger organizations.

Recent tasks have included: designing an infrastructure to support an enterprise-level independent verification and validation office within a federal agency; performing an assessment of software development life cycle documents; and conceptualizing a software development methodology for a federal agency.

Whether for a single document, such as a statement of work, or for multiple documents related to a development effort, The IV&V Group is the organization to contact for independent verification and validation services.

Our services respond to the NAICS: 541511, 541112, and 541519 categories.
