... System validation is the process of assuring that, once 4 Baseline descriptions, both of design of the physical system and of the functions the system is supposed to perform, once built, are essential to the process of modifying the system as new information or experience is obtained. Configuration management and change control are important quality assurance steps that ensure changes to the baseline occur in a planned manner and are thoroughly documented, so that implications for system performance are understood.

... sign and operational concept through the iterative consideration of design alternatives, where "best" is defined through decision criteria such as cost, risk, and land use. Although not necessarily performed for the purpose of reducing program costs, a sound systems engineering approach improves the ability of managers of large engineering pro grams to deliver a sound design and operational concept with reduced risk of cost growth.
