Description
TraceLink’s Automated Validation Manager (AVM) is an automated validation service for end users, providing a set of test cases for execution and a set of corresponding validation documents generated to support quality and validation requirements related to TraceLink application and platform releases.
Benefits
AVM is based on a robust test methodology and set of validation documents to support a company’s computer system validation requirements, designed to help companies maintain validation and quality processes in today's increasingly diverse and changing supply chain environment.
- Meet internal and GMP validation requirements while keeping pace with industry compliance change and emerging business needs
- Evolving regulations
- New and changing data and technology standards
- Diversifying supply and trade partner requirements
