What is the purpose of requirements verification?

The purpose of requirements verification is to ensure that the requirements gathered during the initial phases of a project are complete, accurate, and comply with the defined standards and needs of the stakeholders. This process involves reviewing and validating the requirements to confirm that they align with the expectations and objectives of the project. It plays a crucial role in preventing misunderstandings and ensuring that the final product meets the necessary specifications and user needs, thereby reducing the risk of costly changes and iterations later in the development cycle.

Gathering new requirements, designing user interfaces, or implementing coding standards are activities that take place at different stages of the software development lifecycle and do not focus specifically on the validation and reliability of the requirements already defined.
