Why i am able to save records through visualforce page even there are some required fields and some have active validation rule ?

  1.  I created a Visualforce page and added standard controller position__c object. There are some required fields like name,min_pay and max_pay. Min and max pay both have validation rule to check the minimum value criteria.  Without entering value in input text on visualforce page on those fields why i am able to save records.
This is my visualforce page code

<apex:page standardController="Position__c">
    <apex:form>
        <apex:pageMessages/>
        <apex:pageBlock title="Position"> 
            <apex:pageBlockButtons>
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="save"/>
                <apex:commandButton action="{Cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Create records">
                <apex:inputText value="{!position__c.name}" />
                <apex:inputText value="{!position__c.min_pay__c}" />
                <apex:inputText value="{!position__c.max_pay__c}" />
                <apex:inputText value="{!position__c.status__c}" />
                <apex:inputText value="{!position__c.job_description__c}" />
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Hi yagu ,

As you are using standard controller ,below is what you should check out .

https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000331023&mode=1&type=1

But this can be done with extensions and custom controllers .
Below is code for reference 
<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="ErrorMessageInVfController">
 <apex:form >
   <apex:pageblock >
      <apex:pageMessages id="showmsg"></apex:pageMessages>
         <apex:panelGrid columns="2">
           Account Name: <apex:inputText value="{!acc.name}"/>
           Account Number: <apex:inputText value="{!acc.AccountNumber}"/>
           Account Phone: <apex:inputText value="{!acc.phone}"/>
           Account Site: <apex:inputText value="{!acc.site}"/>
           Account Industry: <apex:inputText value="{!acc.industry}"/>
           <apex:commandButton value="Update" action="{!save}" style="width:90px" rerender="showmsg"/>
         </apex:panelGrid>
    </apex:pageblock>
 </apex:form>
</apex:page>
Apex class : 
public with sharing class ErrorMessageInVfController {
    public Account acc{get;set;}
    public ErrorMessageInVfController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        acc = new Account();
    }
 
    public void save(){
      if(acc.name == '' || acc.name == null)
       ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.FATAL,'Please enter Account name'));
 
      if(acc.AccountNumber == '' || acc.AccountNumber == null)
       ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Please enter Account number'));
 
      if(acc.phone == '' || acc.phone == null)
       ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.WARNING,'Please enter Account phone'));
 
      if(acc.site == '' || acc.site == null)
       ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.INFO,'Please enter Account site'));
 
      if(acc.industry == '' || acc.industry == null)
       ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.CONFIRM,'Please enter Account industry'));
 
    }
}

Hi Yagu,

Because you are using the apex:inputText . If you use <apex:inputField> then it will automatically consider the field properties. 

If you want to use the <apex:inputText> then you have to write the extenson controller.

Please try the below and let me know .  
<apex:page standardController="Position__c">
    <apex:form>
        <apex:pageMessages/>
        <apex:pageBlock title="Position"> 
            <apex:pageBlockButtons>
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="save"/>
                <apex:commandButton action="{Cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Create records">
                <apex:inputField value="{!position__c.name}" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!position__c.min_pay__c}" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!position__c.max_pay__c}" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!position__c.status__c}" />
                <apex:inputField value="{!position__c.job_description__c}" />
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Thanks,
