The Validate tool is very useful for automated testing and productionizing models. It enables you to create custom warnings based on conditions so you can highlight if something seems strange. The Validate tool can be highly effective for customizing warnings that highlight scenarios that should cause caution in the dataset.
You can create multiple warnings in a single model

Model warnings are shown explicitly in your folders

Configuration
