Verification and Validation in Simulation

The document outlines the steps involved in modeling and simulation, focusing on verification and validation processes. Verification ensures that the computer program functions correctly, while validation involves calibrating the model and comparing it to actual system behavior to improve accuracy. The iterative nature of validation is illustrated with an example of measuring waiting lines at a bank.

Modeling & Simulation

Steps in a Simulation
Study: Verification and
Validation

1
Has the Model been Verified?

• Verification pertains to
the computer program
prepared for the
simulation model.
• The basic question is “Is
the computer program
performing properly?”

2
Has the Model been Verified?

• With complex models, it


is difficult, if not
impossible, to translate a
model successfully in its
entirety without a good
deal of debugging

3
Testing Verification

• If the input parameters


and logical structure of
the model are correctly
represented in the
computer, verification
has been completed.

4
Validation

• Validation is usually
achieved through
• the calibration of the
model,
• an iterative process of
comparing the model
against actual system
behavior
• using the
discrepancies
between the two, and
the insights gained, to
improve the model.
5
Validation

• This process is repeated


until model accuracy is
judged acceptable

6
Validation

• In the example of a bank,


data was collected
concerning the length of
waiting lines under
current conditions.
• Does the simulation
model replicate this
system measure?
• This is one means of
validation.

7
Summary

• Till now we have taken a


look at the several steps
of the simulation study.
• We have examined how
verification and validation
are performed.
