TL;DR: This paper proposes a model for component-based development with verification and validation with V&V that is based on the W Model, and has implemented it using Model-Driven Engineering.
Abstract: For general (modular) system development with verification and validation (V&V), the V Model is the industrial standard. For component-based development, there is a well-understood standard process, but it does not specifically address V&V. In this paper, we propose such a model, that we call the W Model. We have implemented it using Model-Driven Engineering.
