Register today for this valuable opportunity to join us for this free webinar, “Computer Software Assurance – A Focus on Critical Thinking,” taking place on Tuesday, March 16th at 1 PM (EST) in partnership with Agilent Technologies.
Why Attend This Webinar?
Regulatory guidance on Computerized System Validation (CSV) has remained consistent for years, with much of the core guidance dating back to the early 2000s. However, in a recent study, the FDA has identified several industry challenges that could be improved upon by eliminating redundancy and focusing on the system’s critical elements. In response to this evaluation, the FDA has agreed to streamline these points with their new and anticipated Computer Software Assurance (CSA) guidance. This update is expected to shift the industry’s focus away from documentation, in favor of a greater emphasis on critical thinking, risk assessments, and testing. Apart from introducing CSA, this presentation will also discuss risk assessments for CSA validations and different types of testing methodology.
Learning Objectives
- Introduction of Computer Software Assurance (CSA)
- Comparison of different risk assessment methodologies
- Reviewing the importance of critical thinking
- Comparison of different testing methodologies
