Validation and Verification
In order for computer systems to only accept data inputs that are
reasonable and accurate, every item of data needs to be examined before
it is accepted by the system.
VALIDATION
VERIFICATION
For data entry,
VALIDATION is performed It is used to check that the
automatically by the computer data
system to ensure that only data does not change as it is being
that is reasonable is accepted entered.

Types of Validation
• Range checks
• Length checks
• Type checks
• Character
checks
• Format checks
• Presence
checks
• Check digits.

Types of Validation
A RANGE CHECK checks that only numbers within a specified range are
accepted.
A LENGTH CHECK checks either: that data contains an exact number of
characters,
that the data entered is a reasonable number of characters
A TYPE CHECK checks that the data entered is of a given data type
A CHARACTER CHECK checks that when a string of characters is entered it does
not
contain any invalid characters or symbols
A FORMAT CHECK checks that the characters entered conform to a pre-defined
pattern
A PRESENCE CHECK checks to ensure that some data has been entered and the
value has not been left blank
A CHECK DIGIT is the final digit included in a code; it is calculated from all the
other digits in the code

Verification
Verification is checking that data has been accurately copied
from one source to another – for instance, input into a
computer or transferred from one part of a computer system
to another. Verification methods for input data include:
» Double entry
Data is entered twice, sometimes by different
operators.
The computer system compares both entries
If they are different outputs an error message
» Screen/visual check.
A manual check completed by the user entering the
data.
When the data entry is complete the data is displayed
on the screen and the user is asked to confirm that it
is correct before continuing.

Main Activity
Task 1: State, with reasons, which validation checks you could use for the following inputs.
You may decide that more than one validation check is required.
– Entering a telephone number
– Entering a pupil’s name
– Entering a part number in the form XXX999, when X must be a letter and 9 must be a
digit.
Task 2: Write an algorithm using pseudocode to check the age and height of a child who
wants to go on a fairground ride. The age must be over 7 and under 12, the height must be
over 110 centimeters and under 150 centimeters.
Task 3: Write an algorithm using pseudocode to check that the length of a password is
between 8 and 12 characters inclusive.
