Abstract
COTS can significantly complicate the independent verification and validation (IV&V) process. The necessarily pessimistic culture of IV&V has a perspective on COTS that greatly differs from a developer’s generally optimistic, success-oriented perspective. For example, there is no basis for assuming that the COTS assessments made by developers will ultimately be consistent or even compatible with those made by an IV&V group. This frequently results in higher project risk and uncertainty. This workshop seeks to illuminate these and other COTS and IV&V related challenges.
