  • Abstract
    The testing activities of the Software Verification & Validation (SV&V) team at Research In Motion (RIM) are requirements-based, which is commonly known as requirements-driven testing (RDT). Software requirements are continuously changing, which has an important impact on the RDT process. This paper describes the major challenges in coping with requirements changes in the software verification and validation processes and indicates how those challenges are being addressed at RIM.
