The infrastructure facilitates the validation of work-in-progress changes. The validate page can be used either at a case level or on an individual evidence type.
The purpose of the case level validate page is to provide a means to test validations in advance of applying the changes. For some products, the full evidence set may be quite sizeable resulting in the apply changes listing containing a considerable number of evidence changes of varying evidence types. In that scenario, the individual evidence type validate page may make it easier to associate a validation message with the correct evidence record. The validate page allows a user to pre-test the evidence changes. The user can see which validations will fail and fix them before applying the changes.
