Existence (validity) tests are designed to ensure that data values entered into an information system exist in a certain domain or dataset. In this case, a validity test would check if the product code (Z96015) entered by the customer exists in the company's product database. Since Z96015 is a nonexistent product, the validity test would detect the error.
