Solution · IV&V
Microfilm gives independent verification & validation (IV&V) teams their own test evidence: the verifier captures and signs each session, attributed to who ran it and traced to the requirement — so the independent record is distinguishable from the development team’s by construction.
Independent verification & validation only carries weight if the evidence is genuinely independent and clearly attributable. Microfilm lets a verifier capture and sign their own test sessions — tied to the requirement, the test case, and the person who ran it — so the independent record stands on its own.
Availability · Capture and signing are free forever on the desktop app. The self-building traceability matrix and audit-package export are Team-and-up cloud features.
What Microfilm is · Microfilm is a desktop app and cloud service that records software QA testing as it happens and turns it into signed, tamper-evident, audit-ready evidence — readable by both human auditors and AI coding agents.
Microfilm produces the attributable evidence an IV&V effort relies on. It does not perform the independent assessment or replace your IV&V agent — the independence of the analysis is yours; the trustworthy record is ours.
The problem
An IV&V finding that lands as a summary in a report invites the same question every time: what exactly was tested, by whom, and where is the proof? When the independent record is a prose write-up or a folder of screenshots, the independence is asserted rather than demonstrated — and a reviewer can’t easily separate the verifier’s evidence from the development team’s.
How Microfilm fits
An IV&V analyst captures and signs their own test sessions. Each record is attributed to the person who ran it, so the independent evidence is distinguishable from the development team’s by construction.
Every independent test links to the requirement and acceptance criteria it verifies, so a reviewer can follow the chain from the requirement to the evidence that the IV&V team — not development — produced.
Session capture records the screen and the verifier’s narration, so the evidence shows not just the verdict but how it was reached — the substance an independent review is supposed to surface.
Export the IV&V team’s traceability matrix and signed evidence as its own package — an independent artifact a program office or auditor can review without untangling it from development records.
The evidence
An IV&V record in Microfilm is a signed session attributed to the analyst who ran it: the requirement verified, the method (captured screen and narration), what was observed, the verdict, and the append-only signature behind it. It demonstrates independence rather than asserting it — a reviewer sees who tested what, how, and with what result.
FAQ
No. The independent analysis is the work of your IV&V team or agent. Microfilm is the tool they use to capture and sign trustworthy, attributable evidence — so the independence of their conclusions is backed by a record that stands on its own.
Each record is signed and attributed to the person who ran the test. An IV&V analyst’s signed sessions are distinguishable from development’s by who attested them, and can be exported as a standalone package.
Yes. Session capture records the screen and the verifier’s narration alongside the verdict, so an independent review can see the method behind each finding.
Capture and signing are free on the desktop app. The self-building traceability matrix and audit-package export are cloud capabilities on the Team plan and up.
