Session 20 - Validation V Verification

In nearly every exam paper they ask you a question about validation and/or verification. It is important that you can identify the difference between the two and give a suitable example of the two means of checking data.

Consider the presentation found here.

Complete the quiz at the end of the presentation and then produce a fact sheet outlining the following types of testing (you should provide examples where possible):

Validation:
Type Check
Range Check
Presence check
Picture or format check
Check Digit

Verification
Entering data twice
Comparing data after entry into the system

Post the finished fact sheet to your blog.
