Tests

1. Project Initiation and Planning:


• Define the project scope, objectives, and goals.
• Identify key stakeholders, including users, IT, quality assurance, and regulatory
teams.
• Create a project plan outlining timelines, resources, roles, and responsibilities.
• Determine the validation approach based on system complexity, risk assessment,
and regulatory requirements.
2. System Requirements Gathering:
• Collect detailed user requirements, including functional, technical, security, and
regulatory requirements.
• Create a comprehensive User Requirements Specification (URS) document.
3. Vendor Selection and Assessment (if applicable):
• Evaluate potential vendors or suppliers of the software.
• Conduct vendor audits to assess their quality systems and ability to meet
regulatory requirements.
4. Risk Assessment:
• Identify potential risks associated with the system’s intended use, data integrity,
patient safety, and regulatory compliance.
• Perform a risk assessment to prioritize validation activities and determine the
level of testing required.
5. Validation Plan Preparation:
• Develop a Validation Master Plan (VMP) outlining the overall validation strategy,
scope, resources, and documentation requirements.
• Include strategies for change control, deviation management, and revalidation.
The following could be included:
 date performed
 Name and version of software
 Name of person performing test
 Test description
 Expected outcomes actual outcomes actions taken in the case of failure of
validation, including the timescale within which they must be resolved

6. Functional Specification and Design:


• Develop a Functional Design Specification (FDS) based on the URS.
• Design the system architecture, including hardware, software, interfaces, and
data flows.
• Include security measures, data backup, and disaster recovery plans.
7. Configuration and Installation:
• Configure the system according to the FDS.
• Install the software, hardware, and necessary components in a controlled
environment.
8. Testing:
• Develop test scripts (IQ/OQ/PQ) for Installation Qualification, Operational
Qualification, and Performance Qualification.
• Execute IQ tests to ensure proper installation of hardware and software.
• Perform OQ tests to verify system functionality and performance.
• Conduct PQ tests to demonstrate the system meets user requirements under
realistic conditions.
9. Traceability Matrix
10. Data Integrity and Security Testing:
• Verify data integrity controls and encryption mechanisms.
• Test access controls, user authentication, and audit trail functionality.
11. User Acceptance Testing (UAT):
• Involve end users in testing to ensure the system meets their requirements.
• Document UAT results and any deviations or issues.
12. Validation Documentation:
• Prepare validation protocols, test scripts, and test reports.
• Document any deviations, investigations, and corrective actions taken.
13. Review and Approval:
• Conduct a review of all validation documentation by relevant stakeholders.
• Obtain sign-off from authorized personnel.
14. Training:
• Train users on system operation, data entry, and troubleshooting.
• Provide training on data integrity and security best practices.
15. Change Control and Release:
• Implement a change control process to manage any future system changes.
• Obtain final approval to release the system for use.
16. Periodic Review and Maintenance:
• Perform periodic reviews to ensure the system continues to meet regulatory
requirements.
• Update documentation, perform periodic testing, and address any issues that
arise.
17. Archival of Records:
• Archive all validation documentation, including protocols, reports, and deviations.
18. Regulatory Reporting:
• Prepare necessary documentation for regulatory submissions if required.
19. Continuous Improvement:
• Use lessons learned from the project to improve future CSV projects and enhance
the quality system.
Throughout the entire process, collaboration, communication, and adherence to
regulatory guidelines are key. Regular updates to stakeholders and maintaining
detailed documentation are critical for a successful CSV project in the
pharmaceutical industry.
