The title for this talk is some what misleading. The parrot is in fact a hand puppet and the frog is an oven glove.These are used to indicate which of the VAX computer backup tapes are the most current.

The daily activity of stuffing the parrot and the irregular activity of croaking the frog form a small, but important part, of the Independent Validation and Verification (N&V) task that AN will perform.

THE INDEPENDENT VALIDATION & VERIFICATION TASK.

The task is to demonstrate (through the combined use of computer tools and human skills) that the software that will control the running of trains on the TAR and part of the CAR is correct ( ie bug free).
