V-Model Approach
Your V-Model Approach Capabilities Expert
Synertec is a firm of multi-discipline specialist engineers providing engineering products and solutions for complex, challenging, and highly regulated industries. We are a tightly integrated team of outstanding people focussed on our clients and partners. Â
The V-Model methodology ensures a structured and disciplined approach to both the verification and validation of each project phase. By illustrating the relationship between each phase of the development lifecycle and its corresponding stage of testing, the V-Model allows for thorough understanding and management of the project requirements from inception to completion. This approach supports the identification and mitigation of risks early, enhances the clarity and traceability of requirements, and ensures all technical, commercial, regulatory, and operational needs are met.Â
Synertec's experience
We believe that by adopting the V-Model framework and applying it appropriately, project outcomes are predictable and suitably qualified, ensuring client requirements and expectations are fully satisfied.Â
Synertec’s team has extensive experience in the verification and testing of V-Model system solutions, including:Â
- Documenting requirements including user, system, and design requirements in ways that facilitate the testing processÂ
- Business process mappingÂ
- Management and documentation of test plans, with full traceability back to the original system and user requirementsÂ
- Testing execution and verification of systems, processes, and equipment at various levels including unit testing, integration testing, and acceptance testingÂ
We have expertise and experience across a wide range of industries, with an outstanding track record of delivering quality projects and solutions across Australia in industries such as rail, energy, water, pharmaceutical, defence, explosives-manufacturing, and bulk liquid storage. Â
We have implemented our V-Model framework, system testing, and test execution programs for various clients across a range of industries including:Â
- Jemena – Control systems for the Northern Gas Pipeline projectÂ
- CSL – Process control system for new pharmaceutical manufacturing plantÂ
- Metro Trains – Control and monitoring system for the Melbourne Underground Rail LoopÂ
- Melbourne Water – System upgrades at the Eastern Treatment PlantÂ
- Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) – Control and safety system for nuclear waste management facilityÂ
The V-Model Solution
Synertec has a long history of executing projects following the V-model methodology. We offer solutions comprising the entire project lifecycle from development of requirements through to final acceptance. Alternatively, we can partner with clients to support the delivery of a single element of the V-model framework such as the front-end definition of system requirements, early documentation of feasibility studies, or end-stage system testing, verification, and validation programs. Â
We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with our clients, where collaboration and communication are key principles ensuring project success. The V-Model was developed specifically to address the complex nature of defence contracts involving software control systems. To deliver a system that operates reliably and absolutely as intended, the individual elements that comprise the whole system must each operate and communicate precisely and reliably between each other.Â
Other Systems Solutions
Synertec leverages its Systems Engineering capability when managing the project lifecycle. Our team follows the V-Model methodology to assist our clients by defining and refining requirements, and by creating a structured and disciplined approach. Synertec’s System Engineers facilitate the generation of a clear relationship between each phase of development and its corresponding stage of testing.  Â
Our Systems Engineering team, backed by a strong technical team, has the skills to work with any supporting application, in any technical environment, including SysML and MBSE (Model Based Systems Engineering). Synertec’s proprietary scripts allow our engineers to create an advanced RTM (Requirements Traceability Matrix). The RTM gives our clients a unique perspective of their data, thus identifying gaps and issues early, leading to timely intervention and resolution, reducing risk and preventing timeline blowouts.Â
Synertec’s experience in delivering large scale industrial solutions is supported by our commitment to security, adhering to ISO 27001, Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection.
