Review on Verification and Validation technology in integrated health management system

Verification and Validation (V&V) technology has been identified as a key step in quantifying and building confidence before integrated health management (IHM) system deployment to inform about equipment or component´s health status and to support operational and maintenance decisions. However, due to generally no rigorously universal methods and no statistically adequate data available, V&V technology remains a challenging open problem. The recent developments appeared in academic journals, conference proceedings and technical reports for V&V technology in IHM field are systematically reviewed in this paper, focusing on V&V definitions and standards, V&V metrics, and V&V methods as well as the future development trends and challenges of V&V technology.
