 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Validation Operation evaluates an identified subject against defined [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:acceptance_criteria|Acceptance Criteria]] and produces a Validation Result.
 +
 +The subject of a Validation Operation can include:
 +
 +  * An [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifact]]
 +  * A Build Operation result
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment|Deployment]]
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_operation|Deployment Operation]] result
 +  * An Infrastructure Configuration
 +  * An Infrastructure Environment
 +  * A Platform Service
 +  * A Workload
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:transfer_bundle|Transfer Bundle]]
 +
 +A Validation Operation identifies:
 +
 +  * The subject being evaluated
 +  * The Acceptance Criteria
 +  * The evaluation procedure
 +  * The observed results
 +  * The resulting validation status
 +
 +A Validation Operation produces an identifiable result whether the subject satisfies the Acceptance Criteria, fails to satisfy the Acceptance Criteria, or cannot be evaluated completely.
 +
 +Within Crucible documentation, automated Validation Operations can execute as part of a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:w:workflow|Workflow]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:g:gitops|GitOps]] process, or [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:ci_cd_pipeline|CI/CD Pipeline]].

 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//operation that evaluates an identified subject against defined Acceptance Criteria and produces an identifiable Validation Result//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +DIDO-controlled term adapted from established systems-engineering, software-testing, deployment-validation, and acceptance practices.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Validation Operation performs a bounded evaluation.
 +
 +A validation definition identifies the criteria and procedures used by the Validation Operation.
 +
 +A successful Validation Operation establishes only that the evaluated subject satisfies the Acceptance Criteria included in that operation. It does not establish satisfaction of criteria that the operation did not evaluate.
 +
 +A Validation Operation differs from a compliance evaluation. A Validation Operation evaluates a subject against Acceptance Criteria, while a compliance evaluation determines conformity with compliance criteria, controls, policies, or baselines.
 +
 +A Validation Operation differs from verification. Verification determines whether an implementation satisfies specified requirements, while validation determines whether an identified subject satisfies the criteria established for its intended use or acceptance.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +Crucible executes a Validation Operation after a Deployment Operation. The Validation Operation evaluates the deployed resources against defined Acceptance Criteria and records the resulting Validation Result.
