Validringsomfanget

Validringsomfanget is a term used in Danish-language discussions of validation and quality assurance. It refers to the scope, boundaries, or extent within which validation efforts are applied. The word combines validring (validation) with omfanget (the scope or extent). In practice, the validringsomfanget defines which data elements, processes, or rules are subject to validation and which fall outside the validator’s remit.

Purpose and use: By specifying the validringsomfanget, teams establish the validation criteria, required evidence, and acceptable tolerances. It helps prevent scope creep, ensures consistency across validation activities, and provides a basis for test planning, risk assessment, and auditability.

Applications: In software development, the validringsomfanget may cover input validation, data transformation rules, and interface contracts. In data governance and data quality programs, it defines which fields and data types are checked and how results are recorded. In regulatory or quality management contexts, it aligns validation tasks with applicable standards and compliance requirements.
