The application provided with the verification devices prompts calibration of the VNA, acquires measurements of the devices, and compares those measurements against the characterization values generated by Anritsu (these values ship with the verification kit). The software also generates reports indicating the outcome of the verification. More information is available in the user guide provided with the verification kit:
