At mLINQS, our IV&V methodology is based on a proven iterative process that determines if the products produced at each phase of development fulfill the requirements placed upon them by previous phases.  These processes ensure that the system is internally complete, consistent, and sufficiently correct so it can adequately support the next iteration.  Our IV&V approach also examines and exercises the complete system and its components (software, hardware, business processes) to determine if all stakeholders' requirements are met. 

mLINQS offers IV&V services to perform these crucial tasks in an environment free of influence from the development effort to ensure objective evaluation leads to operational correctness.  The services that we have offered our customers include:

• Stakeholder identification
• Defining and implementing governance structures
• Communications
