TEVV
AIGP glossary · Last reviewed: · By Victor Humenhuk (AIGP certified)
TEVV - Testing, Evaluation, Verification and Validation - continuous activity across the whole AI life cycle.
In the AIGP body of knowledge, TEVV comes up under Module 3: Governance & Risk Management · BoK II.D; Module 6: Governing AI Development · BoK III.A; Module 7: Governing AI Deployment · BoK IV.A.
TEVV in context
- Keep the two quartets separate → the [[NIST Core functions]] are govern, map, measure, manage, while [[TEVV]] is test, evaluate, verify, validate. (NIST AI RMF: the full kit)
- Policies, procedures, best practices and ethics apply at every phase, and ==TEVV is continuous== across the whole life cycle. (The AI Development Life Cycle Revisited)
- Engineering and governance then share a pre-launch checklist: determine applicable laws, document appropriate uses, assess risk tolerance, and build in ==sufficient TEVV cycles==. (GenAI choices and the pre-launch checklist)
