What problem does it solve?
Validation prevents broken implementations from slipping through by enforcing checkpoint-level assertions and layer-output review, not just end-state success.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Contract-first success criteria: Treat a solution as correct only after it runs successfully and layer outputs are inspected.
- Assert Strategy across checkpoints: Place assertions at data checkpoints within the pipeline, using feature-scoped variables, and verify presumed vs actual conditions.
- Validation architecture pattern: Use a dedicated validation class (one function per feature) that evaluates returned processing outputs, with calls orchestrated from main.
- Paired feature validation: Validate base and variant in the same run (e.g., dimensional/paired or gated feature testing), including gating logic, coexistence, and edge cases.
- Iterative scale & reversibility: Progress validation from small to production-scale datasets and confirm forward/backward transformation reversibility.
Quick Start
Run the full pipeline for your change, capture each layer’s inputs and outputs, and only accept success when all checkpoint assertions and paired-feature checks pass.
