11. Verification

It was mentioned earlier that validation cannot make sure data that you enter is correct, it can only check that it is sensible, reasonable and allowable.

However, it is important that the data in your database is as accurate as possible.

Verification can be used to help make sure that the data in your database contains as few mistakes as possible.

 

DEFINITION: Verification means to check that the data on the original source document is identical to the data that you have entered into the system or object document.
