comprob

Comprob is a shorthand term found in some Spanish-language technical writings that refers to comprobación, the act of verifying or proving something. The term is informal and not standardized; its precise meaning depends on the context, domain, and local practice. In computing and software development, comprob is often used to denote a verification step that checks data integrity, correctness of results, or conformance to requirements. This includes activities such as executing validation tests, validating inputs against specifications, and comparing outputs with expected results. A comprob record or checklist may document the results of these verification activities and indicate a pass or fail.

In quality assurance, manufacturing, and process management, comprob refers to verification activities intended to confirm that products or processes meet their specifications, usually through testing, inspection, or audit procedures. In administrative or financial contexts, the term can appear as part of phrases like 'comprobación de datos' or as 'comprobantes' (receipts, vouchers) used to substantiate transactions.

Because the term is not a formal standard, usage varies by organization and region. When documenting it, it is common to expand 'comprob' to 'comprobación' or to pair it with more explicit nouns such as verificación, prueba, or comprobante to avoid ambiguity. Related concepts across fields include data integrity, validation, verification, and proofs.
