consists of qualification tests, major ground tests, ant! other tests and/or analyses
required to determine that the design of hardware from component through
subsystem level meets requirements; a part of verification.
Qualification —is used in terms of qualification tests (see certification), to establish that an item
meets requirements.

the process of planning ant] implementing a program that determines that Shuttle
systems meet all design, performance, and safety requirements. The verification
process (for both hardware and software) includes all clevelopment, certification
and acceptance testing, flight demonstration, appropriate pre-flight checkout,
post-flight activities, and analyses necessary to support verification.
