How to Verify & Validate a Digital Twin?

FAQ Variant(s): How to Test a Virtual Twin?

Digital Twins can be Verified & Validated by the following pragmatic test:

A reasonable litmus test for a "Digital Twin" is analogous to the Turing Test for AI. Suppose you have a System Tester (ST), a Physical System Twin (PT), and a Digital Twin (DT) for PT. If the ST can run a robust system Verification & Validation (V&V) Test Suite on both PT and DT, but cannot reliably distinguish between them with a probability > 80%, ∴ DT is a bona fide Digital Twin of PT. — Digital Engineering Group
