Java Validation Scenarios

Depending on the type of Java GUI you wish to validate, there are different techniques for doing so.

Internal Validation Criteria

If a data type (i.e. class declaration) is selected for the validation process in the Package Explorer, the type must meet one of the following conditions in order to be the target of an Internal Validation:

If the item selected for validation is a member, it must be a public constructor or method and must match one of the signatures noted above. Moreover, if a method is selected, the class of which the method is a member must meet one of the conditions noted above.

Note: Only class declarations, constructors, and methods can be selected to trigger validation processes. If your application has a main method which constructs the GUI, you should use the Inter-JVM (External) Validation method instead.
