Validating Web Applications and Web Pages

Web-based applications and pages provide a unique method of sharing applications and information between various sites. This relative ease of accessing information provides a unique set of challenges in validating these systems for GxP use. Ofni Systems validation specialists have experience meeting these challenges, working within the compliance requirements of established regulated companies. Our specialists are experts in industry validation standards and will produce validation documents which will meet or exceed your exacting standards.

Ofni Systems can validate all of your web-based applications and pages and develop the appropriate documentation for all phases of the software life cycle. We can provide any level of service required, from executing test scripts generated from your existing specifications to writing the entire validation package. Ofni Systems will perform risk assessments to focus the validation effort on the most appropriate sections of your system.

Ofni Systems Validation Methodology

Step 1: Gather Requirements. Document the system functional requirements. Functional Requirements describe what actions the web application must be able to perform. This includes:

• Data to be entered into the application
• Formulas or calculations performed by each web page
• Who can enter the data into the application
• Workflows the application must perform
• How the system meets applicable regulatory requirements

Step 2: Document design requirements. Design Requirements describe how the application accomplishes the functional requirements. Ofni Systems uses proprietary tools to analyze the web application to create comprehensive design specifications. Design specifications include:

• Inputs – Data entry, validation rules, etc.
• Processing – Workflow enforcement, code, macros, etc.
• Outputs – Reports, data exports, etc.
• Security – User-level security, data protection, etc.

Step 3: Develop and Execute Test Plans. Once requirements have been outline and documented, Test Plans are developed to demonstrate that all required system functionality is met and the application is properly secured. Our validation professionals will document a testing protocol designed to demonstrate that your form meets all of your business requirements and regulatory requirements outlined by 21 CFR Part 11. As appropriate, this includes operational qualifications (OQ) and performance qualifications (PQ). Deviations, if they exist, will be reported and resolved.

Benefits of Validating your Web Applications and Pages

Validating your system or database means all data can be used to make quality and GxP decisions or submitted to regulatory organizations like the FDA. You gain confidence in your system and control over the data and who has access to it.
