Software Validation

[theQ]

Has the Image J software been validated?
Can and should it be validated prior to use? Typical software installation expectation requires IQ, OQ, PQ and am looking for justification for use without it.

Please see these threads on the old ImageJ mailing list where this has been discussed in the past:
