[Informatics] Criteria 3: Validation Techniques

[Nayak, Jayanti S]

Criteria 3: Selects and applies complete set of validation techniques that result in dataset that has full integrity

Hi,

I am trying to understand what is it that students need to do to demonstrate the above criteria.

Since, I have taught Software Development for many years where the "electronic" validation technique is the code written to check user input, I am just not able to get my head around  what I need to look for.

>From my understanding, Criteria 3 is all about data collection and Criteria 4 is about Manipulation of data.

Manual Validation would be to proof-read the data-set and check to see if there are any anomalies, discrepancies and "odd" data. Ignore these i.e. delete them (use screen shots to show before & after data). But what about electronic validation? How do students demonstrate this?

Can someone clarify this please.
