Steve Easterbrook at Serendipity has censored a comment that I made.
My complete comment follows with the parts cut by Steve identified.
I have never applied the procedures and processes outlined in the linked material to real-time software systems of any kind. In stark contrast to your un-supported assertions, I would not recommend applications of the methodology to, ” . . . control systems, where there is very little room for error, and the software has to work correctly once the system goes operational.” I do not have any experience in that domain. None. I do not have any experience with any software that, ” . . . has to work correctly once the system goes operational.” whether or not it’s real-time control software. All my experience has been in the engineering domain of multi-phase, multi-scale thermal sciences in both engineered equipment and open systems.

Instead of bold, un-supported, mis-characterizations of the material, from a position of authority, would you point to a single aspect of either the material that I have posted, or in either of the books by Roache et al., that is not appropriate to scientific and engineering software. Or, have I mis-read the title of the books.
I find your assertions completely at odds with all the material in those books, and in the hundreds of other peer-reviewed papers and reports that have been written on V&V of engineering and scientific software over the past two and a half decades.
You have once again clearly illustrated the lack of knowledge of the state-of-the-art of independent V&V and SQA that has been successfully applied to a wide range of engineering and scientific software that pervades the Climate Science Community.
Thank you for your very professional and deeply considered response. Over the period of time that several of us have attempted constructive discussion here, you have yet to provide a single example of the lack of appropriateness of our peer-reviewed sources. Not a single example. You provide only meaningless arm waving from a position of authority.
