TEMP009 System Specification Template (RiskVal^SM)

The system specification includes: all hardware and system software components and requirements for them, and all hardware, system software, database, and application software configurations. The system specification is created after a system is purchased, or developed, and is ready for validation testing. It is the basis for the IQ. Detailed examples are provided in this template for: application and Oracle database servers, client workstations, system software, application software specifications, application software configurations, and IT infrastructure.

This template is part of the RiskVal Life Cycle^(SM) series of computer system validation documentation. It corresponds to the requirements document described in "Deliverable 6.1 System Specification" in Appendix A of The Computer System Risk Management and Validation Life Cycle written by the author of this template, Tim Stein, and published by Paton Professional, 2006.
