Validacijom

Validacijom is the instrumental singular form of the noun validacija in several South Slavic languages, most commonly Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Slovenian. In usage, validacijom denotes the act or means of validation, effectively translating to “by validation” or “with validation.”

Linguistic notes and scope: Validacija refers to the process of establishing the correctness, reliability, or legitimacy of something. The term is often borrowed from English “validation” and can apply across technical, scientific, regulatory, and quality contexts. The instrumental form validacijom appears in sentences where validation is performed by means of a procedure, method, or instrument.

Usage examples:

- Ovaj postupak se provodi validacijom modela. (This procedure is carried out by model validation.)

- Podaci su provjereni validacijom i potvrdom rezultata. (The data were checked by validation and result confirmation.)

Contexts and applications: In software engineering, data processing, and quality assurance, validacijom refers to activities that verify correctness, integrity, and compliance with requirements. It contrasts with verifikacijom, which is often used to mean verification, though in many languages both terms can be interchanged depending on convention. In regulatory environments, validacijom can describe formal procedures that demonstrate that a system or method meets predefined standards.

Related terms: validacija (validation), verifikacija (verification), potvrda (confirmation), quality assurance. See also methodological discussions of validation processes in research, software, and manufacturing.
