Installation Qualification 23.1.1 Validation

Procedure

How to use this document

This document is based on a template which is designed to be applied to a wide variety of scenarios, including external customer validation. The template and scenarios included can be easily adapted for use in various situations. The following section contains additional definitions of terms used in this document as well as a Process Flow describing how the template is to be used during system validation.

Process Flow

The Installation Qualification document is created to provide the steps required to successfully deploy the Software. The Executor fills in the required information about the environment on the overview page. The validation test cases are executed, and the results are noted down in the “Results” column of the Test Case Table (Pass/Fail/Not Applicable), followed by comments if needed. In case of FAIL, findings shall be tracked within the comments section, all failures need to be resolved and this document needs to be executed again. Whether a FAIL is preventing from continuing the validation process and going into Production or not, will be determined by the System Owner. Once the script is fully executed, the overall result is recorded on the Validation Summary Page and the script is saved, printed as PDF, electronically signed, and securely stored.

Prerequisites
