Can you explain what is meant by the verification process in software development?

Verification in software development is the process of checking that the product meets specified requirements and specifications. It answers the question: "Are we building the product correctly?" — that is, it verifies the correctness of implementation at the design, code, and documentation levels.

Examples of verification:

• Code review
• Static analysis
• Unit testing
• Inspections and walkthroughs

Verification differs from validation, which checks whether the product meets user expectations and needs ("Is the product right?").
