Data validation is the process of checking that data meets specified quality, format, and consistency rules before it is used, stored, or processed further. Analysts, engineers, and QA professionals use validation techniques—such as range checks, type checks, and referential integrity checks—to catch errors early and prevent flawed data from corrupting downstream analysis or systems. It is a foundational practice in data engineering, software development, and business intelligence workflows.
