WHAT ARE PQ (PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION) TEST SCRIPTS?
|
||
|
|
PQ test scripts (sometimes referred to as user acceptance testing) demonstrate the overall intended use of
|
||
|
|
the system according to your procedures and processes.
|
||
|
|
They are derived from the User Requirements Specification and should reflect the day-to-day or
|
||
|
|
end-to-end use of the system in your environment.
|
||
|
|
PQ test scripts are executed in an environment that simulates your production environment.
|
||
|
|
PQ testing also verifies that the LIMS, ELN, or CDS is fit for its intended purpose,
|
||
|
|
operates in accordance with defined standard operating procedures, performs according to the user requirements,
|
||
|
|
and complies with 21 CFR Part 11.
|
||
|
|
This testing will also look at the support environment within which the system is to operate,
|
||
|
|
for example training or maintenance. Vendors do not often provide PQ test scripts or associated documentation,
|
||
|
|
as it is based on your intended use, processes, and procedures.
