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.
