FAQ's


  • What is Software Verification?

    Software Verification, also known as Software Validation, is the process by which source code and other materials are independently tested and verified by a Software Escrow provider.


    Software Verification services ensure that the materials held in Escrow are secure, accurate, and can be successfully redeployed should a release event occur.

  • Why is Software Validation important?

    Software Verification helps to confirm the reliability of source code deposits and their ability to be used in rebuilding a software application.


    Software Verification exercises offer peace of mind through the assurance that source code deposits and other materials are fully usable. 

  • What are the benefits of Software Verification?

    Software Verification offer numerous benefits. Alongside confirming the completeness and accuracy of source code and other materials, Software Verification demonstrates due diligence and a proactive approach to business continuity. It provides confidence that critical assets are properly protected for:

    • Clients

    • Software developers/IP Owners

    • Auditors

    • Internal Teams

  • Can cloud and SaaS applications be validated?

    Software verification for Cloud-hosted SaaS applications offers significant benefits. Software verification and validation exercises not only test source code, but also all the other assets and documentation that are needed to effectively rebuild a fully operational SaaS system.

  • How often should Software Validation be performed?

    Software Verification exercises should be conducted at agreed intervals or whenever a software application is updated. This approach makes sure that the materials held in Escrow reflect the latest version of a software application and that this version is available upon an Escrow release event.

Why should you verify and validate software and what ?

Software verification ultimately confirms that a software application will be fully operational if rebuilt. This form of testing ensures that software can be rapidly recovered with minimal downtime if a release event occurs.


To ensure and confirm that software can be redeployed and rebuilt during an Escrow release event a range of materials and supporting documentation should be verified, including:

  • Source code
  • Development tools
  • Build guides/instructions
  • Development tools
  • Third-part assets and libraries
  • Databases
  • Configuration files
  • Deployment scripts
