Title: Data validation Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:data-validation URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_validation Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT In computing, data validation or input validation is the process of ensuring data has undergone data cleansing to confirm it has data quality, that is, that it is both correct and useful. It uses routines, often called "validation rules", "validation constraints", or "check routines", that check for correctness, meaningfulness, and security of data that are input to the system. The rules may be implemented through the automated facilities of a data dictionary, or by the inclusion of explicit application program validation logic of the computer and its application.
