Verfication vs validation again, does testing belong to verification? If so, which?
I have asked before and created a lot of controversy so I tried to collect some data and ask similar question again. E.g. V&V where all testing is only validation: http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/4-5-2005-68117.asp
According to ISO 12207, testing is done in validation:
Isn’t class scope purely for organization? [duplicate]
This question already has answers here: Why do we need private variables? (15 answers) Closed 11 years ago. Isn’t scope just a way to organize classes, preventing outside code from accessing certain things you don’t want accessed? More specifically, is there any functional gain to having public, protected, or private-scoped methods? Is there any advantage […]
Validation and Verification explanation (Boehm) – I cannot understand its point
Hopefully my last thread about V&V as I found the B.Boehm is text which I just do not understand well (likely my technical English is not that good).

Quality Assurance tools discrepancies
It is a bit ironic, yesterday I answered a question related to this topic that was marked to be good and today I’m the one who asks. These are my thoughts and a question:
Also let’s agree on the terms: QA is a set of activities that defines and implements processes during SW development. The common tool is the process audit. However, my colleague at work agrees with the opinion that reviews and inspections are also quality assurance tools, although most sources classify them as quality control.
I would say both sides are partially right: during inspections, we evaluate a physical product (clearly QC) but we see it as a white box so we can check its compliance with set processes (QA). Do you think it is the reason of the dichotomy among the authors? I know it is more like an academic question but it deserves the answer 🙂
Is code that terminates on a random condition guaranteed to terminate?
If I had a code which terminated based on if a random number generator returned a result (as follows), would it be 100% certain that the code would terminate if it was allowed to run forever.
