Before going on to get an understanding of this issue, let us understand that there is a difference between the ways in which the term “validation” is used in the general area of computers and that used in FDA-related circles. In the field of computer science, the term means the ability of software to meet its stated requirements. For the FDA, validation of a computer system incorporates all activities that go into a computer system and these should be documented and made available to the FDA. We could use the word “verification” to associate the same meaning and understanding of what “validation” means to the FDA.
