Process Validation

Integrating Assurance into the Software Life Cycle

Integrating Assurance into the Software Life Cycle addresses the pivotal shift from traditional Computer System Validation (CSV) to modern, risk-based Computer Software Assurance (CSA). Beginning with a system failure scenario, you’ll gain a solid grasp of the importance of understanding a function’s risk and how to conduct a criticality assessment to distinguish between high and low-risk designations. You’ll also discover how to apply right-sized assurance by employing scripted and unscripted testing based on criticality to ultimately accelerate software deployment. We’ll conclude with an examination of the post-deployment quality system controls for change and configuration management, ensuring an assured state. This course serves as your guide to ensuring quality and compliance while promoting efficiency.
