In computer software, the term parameter validation [1] [2] is the automated processing, in a module, to validate the spelling or accuracy of parameters passed to that module. The term has been in common use for over 30 years. [1] Specific best practices have been developed, for decades, to improve the handling of such parameters. [1] [2] [3]
Parameter validation can be used to defend against cross-site scripting attacks. [4]
