What is Checks?

In the context of software, 'checks' refer to validation steps or tests performed to ensure that data or operations meet certain criteria or constraints. These checks can be implemented at various stages of a software system, such as input validation, data integrity checks, or security checks. They are used to prevent errors, maintain data consistency, and enforce security policies. Common uses include verifying user input, ensuring that calculations are within acceptable ranges, and confirming that required resources are available before proceeding with an operation.
