On the one hand, simulations and digital methods allow for cheaper and faster assurance of properties. On the other hand, the new and different methodology implies completely new requirements. We provide a general overview of the field and focus on naming, use cases, stakeholders, and quality criteria. We also highlight the needs of simulation users for research. We show that the naming in the different domains for virtual certification is widely spread, but the research needs aim into the same direction.enVirtual CertificationCertification by AnalysisSimulationDevelopmentCertificationCbANumerical methodSimulation Based DevelopmentText/Conference Paper10.18420/sw2024-ws_07
