Adding Design Validations to Design Files

Overview

Design Validation is the process of establishing, by objective evidence, that the specifications (specified requirements) of a product conform with user needs and intended use. This section documents the activities and results that demonstrate the product meets its intended purpose in real-world conditions. Design Validation ensures that the final product fulfills all user requirements and regulatory expectations before release or implementation. Design Validation is a critical step in the product development lifecycle, confirming that the product is not only built correctly but is also the right product for its intended users and use cases.
