data validation
Ensuring data correctness
Data validation is the process of checking whether data meets specified requirements before accepting it.
Software validates user input to ensure proper format: The form rejected my email because it failed data validation.
Databases validate entries to maintain consistency.
Validation catches errors early—rejecting impossible dates, out-of-range numbers, or improperly formatted fields.
