RCM’s Validation and Qualification (V&Q) Practice offers the following services: Computer System Validation (CSV) and Computer Software Assurance (CSA).
We leverage traditional methodologies, as well as new methodologies, when performing any type of validation.
Whether it be:
- Agile method (i.e., integrate test, integrate test, integrate test…),
- Continuous V Model .
- Hybrid
- Waterfall
Or other new methodologies, such as:
- Automated testing
- Continuous Validation
- Cloud computing
We are the experts in all areas of Validation and Qualification Services.
Deciding which validation method fits your environment can be confusing and worrisome.
Simply put, the Agile method uses an innovative, less structured, more flexible, iterative process for software development. The team oversees and manages the software development activities.
Waterfall method is a traditional, structured, linear approach for software development . Business analysts and project manages are important to develop processes, create requirements, and manage the project deliverables and timeline.
Process Validation
RCM’s full range of Process Validation capabilities include Process Validation, Qualification and Continuous Process Verification. It all starts with an assessment to understand your organization and identify gaps that are related to process quality and controls, data integrity and business process management.
RCM can support you by authoring Protocols, such as Process Performance Qualification (PPQ), developing a Master Validation Plan, and managing your entire Process Validation project – from risk assessment to requirements gathering straight through to implementation and continuous process verification.
