validations

Acts of confirming

Validations are acts of confirming that something is correct, legitimate, or acceptable.

In computing, validation checks whether data meets required formats or rules: The form failed validations because the email field was empty.

More personally, validation means affirming someone's feelings or experiences: She wasn't looking for advice, just validations that her frustration made sense.
