Validation techniques are important because data is valuable to organisations and incorrect data is useless.

Below are examples of validation techniques that can be performed to ensure data is correct:

  • Range Check - checks that numbers entered are within a defined range, for example checking the date of birth for an age restricted website.

  • Field Check - checks that all required fields have been entered. Required fields are often symbolised with an asterisk (*).

  • Length Check - checks that the entered fields don't exceed a defined limit, such as a character limit or word limit.

  • Email verification - checks the entered email address is legitimate.

  • CAPTCHA - checks that the person entering the online form is a human and not a robot.
