Mnemonic: Limit line - don’t cross it!
. Field Size Check
Purpose: Ensure data fits the allocated space.
How it works: Checks that the number of characters in a field does not exceed the maximum allowed, like a text message limit.

Merging Data
Purpose: Ensure that combining datasets does not corrupt data.
How it works: Integrates data from multiple sources ensuring consistency and correctness.
Mnemonic: Merge lane - watch for data traffic!

Purpose: Ensure that data entered into the system is correct.
- How it works: Requires re-entering or verifying important data entries to confirm accuracy.
