prover
One who validates
A prover is someone or something that proves—demonstrates truth, tests validity, or establishes fact.
In baking, a prover is a warm chamber where dough rises before baking.
In logic and computing, a prover is a system that verifies mathematical proofs or checks program correctness: The automated theorem prover confirmed the conjecture.
