Validity
how well a test measures what it purports to
measure in a particular context.
Validation is the process of gathering and evaluating
evidence about validity. Both the test developer and
the test user may play a role in the validation of a
test for a specific purpose.
Local validation studies are absolutely necessary
when the test user plans to alter in some way the
format, instructions, language, or content of the test.
