Which approach is most effective for ensuring data accuracy in this scenario?

Rely on the data migration tool to handle all data issues

Migrate the data and test the new system's functionality only

Test only the data that is critical for regulatory reporting

Perform data validation and reconciliation between legacy and new systems

To verify that the system can handle peak loan application volumes without performance degradation
