FDA Compliant Testing for Validation and
Qualification
What - How Much - How to Document
Recorded

Initial and on-going testing is the most time consuming part in the overall
validation/qualification of equipment and processes. Correct planning, execution
and documentation is key for FDA inspections. Validation professionals, QA staff
and users often are not sure what to test, how to develop test scripts, how to
conduct tests and how to document validation or qualification tests.
Key Questions related to test scripts and validation protocols are:
- What do FDA and other regulations say about testing, test
scripts and validation protocols?
- What exactly are the expectations of inspectors?
- What should be tested for processes?
- What should be tested for equipment: hardware, operating
systems, firmware and application software?
- How to apply risk based testing
- How to develop efficient FDA compliant test scripts?
- The FDA expects quantitative testing, what does this mean?
- How much detail do we need to test and document?
- When do I need qualification protocols versus test scripts?
- Are test scripts 'official' documents?
- Who writes test scripts for computers: QA, IT or Operations?
- How to document execution of tests (screen captures,
printouts, video)
- Who signs and approves test scripts?
- Can we use automated test tools?
- Who reviews test results: QA, IT, Operations?
- For how long should test scripts and qualification protocols
be archived?
- What should vendors provide?
