AutoFormValidation: validação dinâmica baseada nos metadados do banco de dados da aplicação.

Abstract

In Information Systems, it is commonly necessary to validate input data according to the rules modeled and implemented into the database in order to keep data integrity and consistency. Developers usually implement input validations in a static way, considering the current model/state of the database. This may imply reimplementation of the validation whenever there are changes in the database. In order to smooth this problem, we developed the AutoFormValidation, which provides dynamic form validation as it relies on the live database metadata. An use case is presented aiming at exemplifying and discussing the usage and utility of the proposed solution. We also highlight dynamic validation prevents the insertion of source code with inconsistencies within the database.
