Ganzheitliches Metadatenmodel für die Verifikation und Validierung in der Entwicklung komplexer technischer Systeme

The increasing complexity of technical systems requires early, structured verification and validation (V&V). Existing metadata models only map parts of the engineering process and do not enable a continuous chain of effects from requirements to test results. The aim of this publication is to develop a holistic V&V metadata model for the consistent, transparent and machine-processable description and linking of relevant engineering artifacts. In a five-stage research approach, essential model components are derived from literature and are integrated into a holistic model. Initial applications as part of a European research project show the potential of the model for a well-founded effect chain analysis and decision-supporting V&V processes.
