testing input data for no-arb; scenario analysis

Venkatesh Rao
Hi, I was wondering if input data (usually "market data") such as rate or vol term structures, or vol surfaces are tested to see  if they satisfy the no-arb conditions before being fed to pricers, calibration routines etc.  If so, can you point me to the names, examples of such.  

I raise this because I'd like to perturb/shock  the input data to see the resulting impact (on P&L, sensitivities, etc.).    If example code for doing such analysis, that would be very helpful too.  
thanks in advance

Non-arbitrage is true only in theory and could be used as A benchmark (or reference). Any sort of pricers or calibrations are approximation.

Thanks,
