Validation of attributes and values. Mandatory attributes and values, domains (or enumerated lists) as well as ranges and the data type.

Yes, please! It's of course currently possible to accomplish this using existing transformers, but it's rather click-intensive and some tests would typically requre several transformers, such Tester, NullAttributeMapper, AttributeClassifier, etc. Not always very user-friendly for novices.

@davidreksten Yes, really this thing ends up being a convenient consolidation of the functionality in those transformers.

And it was released as part of FME 2016.0 -- thanks for your votes, they made the difference. And this thing is wonderful, if I say so myself.
