   I am sceptical of the value of intensive validation. In my experience a long   
   validation process without appropriate attention to development  leads to a   
   long string of bug reports, which developers proceed to fix by hacking code.   
   At the end of the day    
   you are left with something which is designed to pass the tests, but which is   
   almost certainly not correct code.
