Description

There are many validation approaches for R and its packages that has a foundation in classic software and application validation, specifically how it relates to statistical analysis applications within regulated industries like Life Science. The introduction of risk-based validation approaches in the last decade has provided additional tools, but as we now approach R as a language, packages as language extensions and that we seldom independently validate languages as part of Computer System Validation, there is an inherent conflict with expectations and industry standards, guidelines and regulations, such as ICH Good Clinical Practice..

We explore a risk-based validation approach that is based on the risk that a package functions and computational methods produces an incorrect result that is not or cannot be caught by the mandated quality controlled processes, i.e. quality checks and output validation. The result is a simplified validation process that is more robust, much easier to implement, lighter on the documentation and simple to automate.
