1.

If some data passes a validation check it doesn’t mean that the

data is correct because validation checks do not ensure that the
data is correct it just ensures that the data is sensible.

2. I think that dual input validation is the best validation method

because it ensures that the data is consistent. It is very unlikely
that the data can be incorrectly transferred into the computer when
the dual input validation check is used. Dual input validation
eliminates transcription and transposition errors because it ensures
that the data is correct in each case.

3. I think that the reason that dual input verification isn’t used very
often because the data has to be entered twice this therefore gives
the processor more data to be processed which would take more
time. For big companies this could cause a system malfunction
because if too much people have to use the dual input system to
enter their data enter at the same time it could put the processor
under too much stress because it has twice as much data to process
from each person.

4. Most likely the data has been entered correctly however there is
the odd chance that some of the data could be incorrect and still be
verified as correct due to the fact that the computer misread the
information, however this is a very rare case.

5. The validation checks that should be used are as followed:

a) 1 presence check
2 type check

b) 1 presence check
2 type check

c) 1 format checks
2 length check
 3 type check
Field name Lower Upper
Boundary Boundary

prices ($ usd) 250 1000

4 presence check

6. Field name on which a range check should be used

7. Using the input mask these are the data that are valid:

 a
 c
