i dont get the scope at which you mean the validation. on the automation script we are comparing expected output with actual output at few lines of script either checkpoint or custom codes meant as validation on automation script scope. for validation we can use both generic and business functions at direct or indirect, or the vaildation may be part of functions. functions may be used for validation, but might not be only for that. its for the benefit for reusability on whatever need.
