COMPUTER SYSTEM VALIDATION (CSV)

Software validation has become an integral part of the overall software lifecycle when it comes to using a software application in a regulated environment. If the application is defined as being GxP system or critical to quality the end result means that a high degree of testing is required in order to allow the application to be used in the manufacturing process.

What should happen is that a comprehensive Vendor Audit needs to be carried out, to ensure that the system has been developed to the highest of quality standards. This approach is essential so that you have a high degree of assurance that the system is sound, and can be leveraged from later in at the validation stage.

I use screen shots in my CSVs. The main reason can best be said “One picture is worth a thousand words”. While it may not be technically required (unless the protocol specifies screen shots), it is an easy way to provide documented evidence that the tests occurred as stated.
