# Automated Validation

Automated validation eliminates the time-intensive and error-prone manual validation process by automating the generation of test cases and associated test data. By automating the validation process, Accelchain ensures close to 100% code coverage within minutes, significantly reducing the risk of bugs and vulnerabilities.

#### Types of Validation

1. **Unit Validation:**
   * Validates the business logic of individual functions within the smart contract.
2. **Integration Validation:**
   * Validates the behavior of interactions between different functions within the smart contract.
3. **System Validation:**
   * Validates the behavior of interactions between the smart contract and external web2 and web3 applications.

### Automated Validation Process

1. **Selection of Contract and Functions:**
   * Users can choose the contract and specific functions they want to validate using Accelchain's intuitive interface.
2. **Automated Test Case Generation:**
   * Accelchain automatically generates test cases (both positive and negative scenarios) for the selected functions.
3. **Test Data Generation:**
   * Associated test data is automatically generated to cover various combinations of input arguments, function callers, and contract owners.
4. **Execution and Result Analysis:**
   * The generated test cases are executed, and the results are analyzed to ensure the expected behavior of the smart contract functions.
   * The execution status (completed or reverted) is displayed, providing users with insights into the performance of their smart contracts.
