CComputer System Validation

Computer Systems Validation is not a one-time event. Validation should be considered as part of the complete life cycle of a computer system. This cycle includes the stages of planning, specification, programming, testing commissioning, documentation, operation, monitoring and modifying.

Validation starts when a user department has a need for a new computer system. The department then considers how the system will solve an existing problem. For an existing computer system, validation starts when a system owner is given the task of bringing the system into a validated state.
