verification-before-completion

To enforce verification before declaring task completion, implement a gate that requires a documented verification command, fresh execution, complete output review, and conditioned success reporting to ensure evidence supports all claims.

Claims validation in software quality assurance is the process of requiring fresh evidence, such as test or build results, before accepting any success claims, reducing dishonest reporting and rework.

Yes, you can use a verification gate during code reviews and release processes to guide QA workflows, ensuring that tests, lint, and build results are verified with evidence before merging a PR.

The best way to verify tests and builds before claiming a fix is complete involves defining a verification command, running it freshly, analyzing the full output, and publishing an evidence-backed claim.

Claiming work as complete without verification leads to rework because it allows dishonest reporting and misplaced trust, skipping the necessary evidence-based process to validate fixes and builds.
