Input validation prevents improperly formed data from entering an information system. Because it is difficult to detect a malicious user who is trying to attack software, applications should check and validate all input entered into a system.
Is it important to validate information?
Why Validate? Validating the accuracy, clarity, and details of data is necessary to mitigate any project defects. Without validating data, you run the risk of basing decisions on data with imperfections that are not accurately representative of the situation at hand.
How can we validate information?
To validate data, appropriate tests need to be run, such as running the data through business cases, usability testing, and case models. To validate fluctuating data, appropriate meetings can also be set up to establish and authenticate the information, such as when you need up-to-date information for a status report.

Do you validate someone when you don’t agree with them?
Not at all. Validation simply sets you up for a more effective conversation. Once the other person feels heard and understood, they will be significantly more likely to accept your side of the story. ProTip: Most of us jump at the opportunity to give advice.
What do you need to know about validating someone?
You may need to think about their background, their fears, their hopes, the fact that they might not have all the details, etc. but—more often than not—you’ll find that their response is actually quite reasonable given the situation. But What If I Still Think They’re Being Irrational?
Do you validate the emotions of the other person?
This is because the other person won’t be able to deal with their anger—nor will they be open to your advice or alternate explanation—until they feel heard and understood. We should therefore always aim to validate the other person’s emotions, even when we disagree with what they’re saying.
