Computer Validation: Configuration Management
Speaker:
J. Scott Hodges, Ph.D., Project Manager, Stelex
Date of Briefing:
March 23, 2004
Approximate length:
One hour
Description:
Configuration management (CM) is more critical than ever, particular for software, says J. Scott Hodges, Ph.D., project manager at Stelex. Change control should be viewed as part of a larger system of CM that monitors systems and equipment. He notes that many QA/QC people use CM and change control interchangeably but “CM actually helps identify items that fall under the change control system.” Dr. Hodges further notes that the Rx industry faces higher costs for configuration changes than industries with less regulation, citing security issues among other examples. Hodges warns that “improperly managed change control can have disastrous results from both regulatory and business perspectives.”

Computer Validation: Software Testing to Reveal Errors
Speaker:
Walter McClenney, Validation Directory, SEC Associates
Date of Briefing:
March 17, 2004
Approximate length:
One hour
Description:
Computer system and software validation should not rely on methods that avoid errors but reveal them, according to Walter “Neil” McClenney, Validation Director, SEC Associates. “Errors are there and that is just a rule of software development. It’s a question of your company’s metrics for success and validation priorities,” believes McClenney. Software testing should stress the software’s functionalities by going above and beyond execution within known boundaries and limits.

Description:

Manufacturers planning to update their computer systems -- whether to be compliant with Part 11 or GMPs -- should consider systems that provide automated trending reports as well as annotations, attestations, and “reason codes.” These are among the suggestions made by Alberto Correia, vice president of VelQuest, who also says that automated compliance software can maintain an audit trail for individual steps and records, giving users more flexibility for tracing and reviewing data.
