Validation

Documented evidence that a process or system consistently fulfills its intended use and requirements.

Examples

01Validation of a new label-printing software shows that it prints the right batch number and expiry date in 500 test runs.
02The validation report is reviewed by quality assurance, which checks that the test cases cover real use, including error messages.
03After a software update changes the barcode format, validation is repeated before the printer goes back into production.
