# Step 4 — Validate

Before presenting to the user, verify:
- All template sections (1-6 and Appendix A) are populated or marked "Not applicable" with justification
- Test hierarchy is preserved: 4.x (test) -> 4.x.y (test case) -> 4.x.y.1-7 (details)
- Every test case has all seven sub-items (4.x.y.1 through 4.x.y.7)
- Every test case has a unique identifier and clear pass/fail criteria
- Requirements traceability is complete — every SRS/SSS requirement has at least one test case
- Test procedures are detailed enough to be repeatable
- Safety precautions and security considerations are included where applicable
- Document is written in {document_output_language}
