AI development mirrors the software life cycle plus a data obsession and continuous monitoring. Policies, procedures, best practices and ethics apply at every phase, and TEVV is continuous across the whole life cycle.

🔑 The iterative stages
Planning and design → data collection and preparation → model development (selection and training) → model testing and evaluation → deployment → monitoring and maintenance → decommissioning.
⚠️ Exam flash
TEVV is continuous → testing, evaluation, verification and validation run across the whole life cycle, not at one gate. A pre-deployment pilot is a late-stage validation activity under realistic conditions, sitting immediately before go-live.
