Requirements-based validation is a set of best practices that illustrates one of iTQP’s distinctive competitive advantages in the marketplace. This proprietary approach has been shown to dramatically improve the quality, schedule, cost, and overall user satisfaction of our customers’ technology acquisition endeavors. In particular, this method delivers the following benefits: Tighter alignment between business needs and delivered functionality Reduced expectation gaps between customer, user, and developer Early defect identification and isolation Fewer shipped defects Lower failure costs

The overall process is the subset of our project delivery philosophy (see discussion on Glue) that focuses on our validation related best practices. iTQP professionals can implement these practices directly using our proprietary tools (see, for example, ValidationBench), or we can interface this approach into our client’s existing development environment.

The iTQP requirements-based validation process has four primary focus areas:
