Execution of V&V

Activities:
Plan and organize V&V tasks, coordinate schedule and budget with the Design Team and Project Team and lead the V&V effort for the given scope.
Ensure independence requirements are met:
- For safety systems, the Digital Systems V&V Engineer is required to be technically, managerially, and financially independent of the design organization.
- For Class ILA/ILB/ILC PDDs, ensure the test/V&V team independence meets the Digital I&C Test Plan
Lead or oversee development of V&V artifacts, including:
- V&V plans, test design specifications, test cases, and procedures.
- V&V reports, anomaly/problem reports, and closure documentation.
Coordinate and technically guide SyAT/FAT/SAT and other integration/acceptance tests as part of V&V, ensuring traceability to system and plant-level requirements.
