software inpection is most formal form of review, how does this fit in the verification and validation flow
The verification and validation flow checks that the product is developed rightly and the right product is developed respectively.

I have a ZOHO form embedded in a web page and it collects and sends its submissions to ZOHO CRM as leads. ZOHO CRM has been configured with a lead assignment rule. The issue is that the lead assignment rule doesn't apply to the leads generated by the ZOHO form. How I can configure to apply the lead assignment rule for ZOHO form submissions as well.
The option is available inside the integrations tab of the particular form settings.
Go to Forms App of the ZOHO
Go to Settings of the particular form
Go to Integrations tab
Scroll down to the sections called Actions
Check true the Assignment Rules options (Follow the steps)
Click on the button Integrate to finish it
When would you choose confirmCardPayment in the front end and when would you choose paymentIntent.Confirm in the backend?
currently our app allows you to checkout as guest, save a credit card if you are not a guest or use a saved card.
All of these flows work without confirmcardpayment on the frontend and without the paymentintent.confirm on the backend
I'm guessing there will be a time where a card payment requires extra authentication and that is when we need to either confirm in the front end or conifrm in the backend? (Also, when/why would a card require extra authentication? New to this space and looking to learn)
Our code pretty much follows this: https://github.com/stripe-samples/saving-card-after-payment/blob/master/without-webhooks/server/go/server.go
PS: The TLDR from the above link is:
Front end:
Creates a paymentmethod with a given card or saved card.
Sends POST /pay API to backend
Backend:
Receives API (validates if user is auth or not - in our case)
Creates a payment intent to be sent to stripe with paymentmethodID from frontend AND customerID gotten from our backend (Stripe's customer id that we created beforehand)
Stripe returns us the paymentmethod with status.
No confirmation on either front.
If same payment method tries to get used for another customer, fails.
If same payment method gets used for same customer (Saved card behavior) it works.
I'm guessing there will be a time where a card payment requires extra authentication and that is when we need to either confirm in the front end or conifrm in the backend?
You need to do this on the frontend because of customer authentication yes. Confirming on the frontend attempts the payment, and the Stripe JS library will also present any additional UI needed like the customer's bank's 3D Secure authentication page.
That is also important for accepting other types of payment methods(which you should, as having more local payment methods in your checkout flow increases customer conversion). E.g., payments using iDEAL require a redirect to the customers bank which again is handled on the client side. https://stripe.com/docs/payments/ideal#payment-flow

Pretty much any transaction in Europe and the UK requires 3D Secure authentication right now, and it's only becoming more prevalent worldwide

Our code pretty much follows this
The Github link/flow you linked is an alternative way of using Stripe where you attempt the payment on the backend and then need to do a round-trip if authentication is required , but it's generally preferred to use client-side confirmation as it's more scalable for accepting other payment methods.

I have a website where i have implemented google recaptcha, however it does not have server side validation. I want to know if google mandates server side validation. I have search through web but did not found anything on this.
Any supporting document/link on this is appreciated.
Google does not force to perform the server-side validation but this is a necessary step if you want to ensure you are protected.
If you implement a client-side only validation it means there is still a request to your backend which does not enforce the captcha validation, and potentially can be exploited.
Here is an example where at server-side the validation is executed before the action (post comment, save user details, etc..) is performed.
I know how to Load a JScript to interact with a field or a form within "Form Properties". However, how do I load a Script or code to process server side?
Writing server side code with Microsoft Dynamics 365
We have two choices for adding server side code into the application,
plugins or custom workflow activities (CWA). These are developed using
assemblies from the 365 SDK. Almost every event – create, update,
assign, and many more – that occurs in 365 starts an event pipeline.
These events can be subscribed to by plugins or workflows. The
workflows can be used to execute CWAs. The plugin or CWA can then be
used edit or change the execution of the event, or perform an entirely
new action.
Depending on the complexity of the code, it may be possible to re-write it as a CRM Business Rule
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/customize/create-business-rules-recommendations-apply-logic-form
You can create business rules and recommendations to apply form logic
without writing JavaScript code or creating plug-ins. Business rules
provide a simple interface to implement and maintain fast-changing and
commonly used rules. They can be applied to Main and Quick Create
forms, and they work in PowerApps apps, Dynamics 365 web apps,
Dynamics 365 for tablets, and Dynamics 365 for Outlook (online or
offline mode).
By combining conditions and actions, you can do any of the following
with business rules:
Set field values
Clear field values
Set field requirement levels
Show or hide fields
Enable or disable fields
Validate data and show error messages
Create business recommendations based on business intelligence.
I have created a backend code in spring-boot for an android app.
My question, is there any rule for distinguishing between the validations at backend side or at frontend side?
For example- for user creation blank fields should be only checked at the frontend side but for testing backend services alone is it okay to have validations on the backend side.
If we just do validations at the frontend side then the problem arises when we test backend services alone.
As general rule, data sent from the client cannot be trusted. E.g. even if the client validated a field is not null, you should assume that field was not validated at all.
You should implement similar validation logic on the backend as well.
Here's the starting point for implementing validation with Spring, based on JSR-303.
It's not only "ok" to have validation on the backend but it's required. As #hovanessyan mentioned, you can never trust the data from the client. Never.
As a rule of thumb, APIs need to be bullet proof. All the edge cases (null-safety, type-safety, min/max, custom validations) should be covered and tested. There's nothing worse than an API responding with a 500.
Lots of devs noticed that there's a bit of validation logic duplication between frontend and backend and this is one of the reasons technologies like Node.js became so popular - you could in theory share the validations.
Also, don't be discouraged by having to duplicate your validation logic. It's tedious but necessary.
