Description: Load validation is a critical process within ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations that focuses on ensuring that data has been loaded correctly and completely into a target system. This process involves verifying that the data transferred from a source to a destination meets established quality criteria, including data integrity, accuracy, and consistency. Load validation not only checks that the data is present but also involves comparing the original data with the loaded data to identify any discrepancies. This process is essential to ensure that business decisions based on this data are informed and accurate. Load validation may include techniques such as record verification, checksum comparisons, and data format validation. In an environment where data is increasingly valuable, load validation becomes an indispensable practice for maintaining trust in information systems and the analyses derived from them.
