Validation and Verification

Validation is the process of checking the accuracy and correctness of data, using methods like check digit, format check, and presence check. Verification, on the other hand, confirms the authenticity and integrity of data through techniques such as double entry and proof of reading. The key difference is that validation checks data against specific criteria, while verification involves comparison or review to ensure data integrity.

Definition of validation and verification [1]


Explanation + one example (8)
Difference between the two [1)

1)Validation:
- Definition: Validation is the process of checking the accuracy and correctness of data.

Verification:
- Definition: Verification is the process of confirming the authenticity and integrity of
data.

2)
1. Check digit: A validation method that involves calculating a digit based on the other
digits in a sequence. The calculated digit is then compared to a predefined digit to
determine if the data is valid. Example: Validating a credit card number by using the
Luhn algorithm to calculate and verify the check digit.

2. Format check: A validation process that ensures data follows a specified format or
pattern. Example: Validating an email address to ensure it contains the "@" symbol and
a domain name.

3. Length check: A validation check that verifies if data meets a specific length
requirement. Example: Validating a password to ensure it has a minimum of 8
characters.

4. Lookup table: A validation technique that involves comparing data against a


predefined table or list to determine its validity. Example: Validating a product code by
checking if it exists in a product database.
5. Presence check: A validation step that verifies whether a required field or data is
present. Example: Validating a registration form by ensuring that all mandatory fields
are filled.

6. Range check: A validation process that verifies if data falls within a specified range of
values. Example: Validating an age input to ensure it is between 18 and 65.

7. Double Entry: A verification method that involves entering data twice and comparing
both entries for consistency. Example: Verifying a bank account number by entering it
twice and checking if both entries match.

8. Proof of Reading: A verification process that involves reviewing and carefully reading
data to identify any errors or discrepancies. Example: Proofreading a document to
detect spelling mistakes or grammatical errors.

3) Difference between Validation and Verification:


- Validation focuses on checking the accuracy and correctness of data against specific
criteria.
- Verification focuses on confirming the authenticity and integrity of data through
comparison or review.
