What is Validation?

According to ISO 9000:2000 Validation is defined as "Confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled".
In contrast with Verification, Validation rather focuses on the question whether a system can perform its desired functions.
Another definition of Validation is "answering the Question whether the Customer will be able to use the Product in its intended manner." To validate something is to test it for use, not to check it for physical properties. Something that has failed being verified can still be declared as having fitness for purpose after validating it.
