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
There are two ways to use the Validate tool: zero rows and by condition. Zero rows means that you want to create a warning if the incoming dataset has zero rows. By condition means that you want to create a warning if a boolean column is false.
