Importance of Verification, Validation and Testing (VVT)

Manufacturing industries striving for net-zero targets must develop sustainable products and technologies that are not only efficient but also safe and reliable. A crucial factor in this process is Verification, Validation, and Testing (VVT), which ensures product performance and compliance. 

However, rigorous testing is often challenging, requiring significant time, resources, and investment. Despite these hurdles, thorough testing is essential to accelerating innovation while maintaining safety and reliability. 

Our work focuses on addressing key challenges in testing and improving these for sustainable product design and manufacturing.
