Testing and 21 CFR / Validation

testing

Outages in applications that run your enterprise can at best be embarrassing; at worst, they can cripple. Today, businesses demand quick delivery, constant feature enhancements, and a high level of confidence in the quality of their software, at a price that is not just economical but also highly profitable.

Independent Testing is the process of ensuring the quality, interoperability and usability of products, applications, systems and web sites. It brings a fresh perspective and an unbiased opinion on issues of software problems and risks.

Infosys’ independent testing solutions involve rigorous verification and validation methodologies that reduce defects in every stage of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). These are achieved through Return on Investment (ROI) -based verification and validation strategies, and risk-based test effort optimization.

Our independent testing solutions ensure:

  • Increased productivity through automation
  • Enhanced delivery confidence
  • Predictable time to market
  • Lowered cost of ownership
  • 21 CFR/ VALIDATION
