Introduction
 Today’s webinar takes an exclusive focus on the Generation
Automation Manufacturing Protocol (GAMP)
 We will connect with Computer System Assurance (CSA),
Software Development Life Cycle, and Product/Project Lifecycle
(PLC)
 Our webinar is part of the Thought leadership series
 The webinars may introduce the concept using a tool

Post-Approval Assessment
1. Each stage is loaded with uncertainty
2. Experimentation still needs a measurable objective
3. There are cost considerations in every stage
4. Management has criteria for entry and exit
5. Different people engage at different phases
6. There are legal and regulatory implications

Computer Software Assurance
Evolution of Testing
• Traditional Validation measured absence of errors with multiple test runs and capturing screenshots for success and
failure scenarios
• Modern Testing measures the number and severity of issues detected using scripted and unscripted techniques
requiring screenshots only for failures
Integrated System Interfaces
• Supplier Assessment Program for the supplier processes and controls besides testing of their work packages
• Strong Internal change control process for both verification (things unchanged) and validation (things changed)
Repeated Evaluation of Risk / Governance Based on Internal Processes & Procedures
• Reference to detail procedures rather than repeating test steps
• Be critical about the evidence required for lifecycle activities
Adapting Lean Thinking to increase confidence of quality
• Create less documents and increase risk based testing (higher confidence for systems and interfaces)
• Validate with the end in mind for fitness for purpose

Types of Quality Activities
Unscripted Testing
• Ad-hoc Testing – Undocumented Testing
• Error Guessing – Testing based on testers knowledge of failures
• Exploratory Testing – Experiential testing for unanticipated
patterns
Scripted Testing
• Robust Scripting – Testing for Traceability and Auditability
• Risk Based Testing – Combination of scripted and unscripted
testing
