• DoD Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) Recommended Practices Guide (BP) [Select "VV&A" Initiative in the "Key Documents" Quickbar, then click on "Recommended Practices Guide Folder"]- Abstract: This guide (Adobe PDF format) provides background and information on principles, processes, and techniques which are recommended for use in DoD VV&A efforts which support program initiatives in the analysis, acquisition, and training communities. These guidelines reflect a year-long study of Service directives and VV&A techniques from government, industry and academia. An integrated team of DoD-recognized VV&A experts authored the Guide and obtained informal coordination throughout its development from contributors across DoD. The guide will continue development during Fiscal Year 1997 to include more detailed guidance for VV&A efforts performed to support modeling and simulation in the three functional areas of analysis, acquisition, and training.
