Knowledge pack synthesized from FAA AMS Lifecycle Verification and Validation Guidelines, Version 4.0 (January 2023): verify-vs-validate, the three tiers, decision-point-gated V&V across the AMS lifecycle, and shift-left. SCOPE LIMITS: single-source (the January 2023 guidelines); FAA acquisition V&V doctrine, not a general SE process model, not a requirements manual, and not a test-design textbook; CMMI for Development v1.2 named and paraphrased, never copied; surrounding AMS lifecycle is…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# FAA AMS Lifecycle Verification and Validation Guidelines, Version 4.0

**Source:** Federal Aviation Administration, *AMS Lifecycle Verification and Validation Guidelines*, Version 4.0 (January 2023). US Government work, public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105. No download link is published; source identification and licence terms: [LICENSE](LICENSE). Vetted 2026-10-28.

## When to use

Use this skill when you have a question about verification and validation across the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) lifecycle: whether to verify or validate, which tier an artifact sits at, which methods apply, what the minimum V&V set is at each decision point, how the DT/OT/IOA triad divides test labor, or how shift-left changes early-lifecycle checking. It does not cover the surrounding AMS lifecycle mechanics (phases, gates as process, program office roles); that context stays in the `faa-sem` pack. It is also not a requirements-writing manual, a general SE process model, or a test-design textbook.

**Prerequisites:** none — plain Markdown; no MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/faa-ams-vv@sha256:da26e9f74bdfec23

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.18a4dec, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
