To validate a software tool you can do the following

1. Content validity:

To ensure the quality of software tool or an content you can get opinion form experts at least [8] and few target population.

2. You have developed the software tool. so you know where your content is fulfill all your expectations of your plan. i.e. before and after.

3. If you found any other software related yours compare the test result score.

4. Conduct on experiment with small group of people.
