VAL008 Computer System Vendor Audit Checklist (RiskVal^SM)

This checklist is ideally used by a team of auditors who together have an understanding of software development methods and quality systems. The checklist includes sections on: quality systems, project planning, defining requirements, qualifying developers (including contract developers), system design, software development, software testing, documentation, customer support, and IT methods. You will record your findings directly on the checklist.

This checklist is part of the RiskVal Life Cycle^(SM) series of computer system validation documentation. It corresponds to the checklist described in "Method 3.1 Assessment of Vendor Software Development" in Appendix A of Computer System Risk Management and Validation Life Cycle written by the author of this checklist, Tim Stein, and published by Paton Press, 2006.
