Hi All,
I recently joined a startup working in the AI for medical imaging space as the first RA employee. I have some knowledge of RA in software but haven't worked extensively in it before, and am ramping up on the go. While discussing verification and validation requirements with the engineers, some questions popped up and I was hoping I could get some pointers to resources/examples here.
Software verification -
1. Practically, what does verification outside of software testing include, as in, what is the FDA looking for? Are any examples available to refer?
2. Do unit/integration/system level tests have to be committed separately from the actual code for good documentation practices? Context - my recommendation here was to document V&V in packages of unit testing, integration testing, and system level/validation testing.
Software validation -
3. Simulated use environment testing - can it be tested in a sandbox environment? Or is prod absolutely necessary?
I apologize if this is asking too much. Thank you so much!
