Validation and Verification (Unit one)

Question 1

What is validation?

Answer 1

Validation makes sure the data is valid. IE the correct format. Doesn’t necessarily mean it is accurate, just possibly accurate. An example could be when entering a phone number, it ensures there are 11 numbers, and no characters.

Question 2

What is verification?

Answer 2

Verification double checks the data with a second source. An example could be a person reading everything they type twice.
