What is the highest complexity of testing reported under the new CQC standards?

The highest complexity of testing reported under the new Continuous Quality Control (CQC) standards is indeed independent verification testing. This type of testing involves a thorough review and validation of the testing processes and results by a party that is not directly involved in the project. Independent verification is critical because it ensures that the integrity of the testing process is maintained and that any potential biases are minimized.

Independent verification testing provides a layer of accountability and helps to confirm that the work meets the required specifications and standards. This type of testing often involves more intricate procedures and rigorous analysis compared to other testing methods, emphasizing its complexity.

Quality Control Testing, while essential, is primarily focused on routine checks and assessments conducted within the scope of a project, thus does not reach the same level of complexity as independent verification. The other categories, such as verification testing and production testing, also play significant roles but do not encapsulate the comprehensive and autonomous scrutiny characteristic of independent verification testing.
