Business Layer of Salesforce
This is the layer where we applied business logic. Mandatory data in the correct form.
We need to enforce some rules to enforce end users to follow them up.
Incomplete, incorrect, and invalid data to the system.
For example, ssn number must be 9 digits only.
Validation Rules

It supports 4 different actions:
-Email alert, field update, create task, outbound message.
