During the Developmental Test (DT) effort, the purpose of verification is to determine ____________.

• A. The total lifecycle cost
• B. User acceptance readiness
• C. Whether the system meets its build-to specifications
• D. Whether the system operates in field conditions

Answer: (C)

Verification during Developmental Test confirms that the system is built to its defined specifications, meaning the design requirements are met and the product aligns with the build-to criteria. This is about building the product right. It’s not about whether the system will solve the user’s problem (that’s validation or user acceptance), nor about overall lifecycle cost, or performance in field conditions, which are addressed in other activities.
