Planning validation around risk and checking the records it produces.

01 · Context

Planning validation around risk and checking the records it produces.

The problem

A test record needs to show what was checked and whether the record has changed. Planning the checks also means deciding which failures carry the greatest risk.

My role

I built this demonstration to apply ideas from my pharmacy studies, including risk assessment, traceability, and documentation, to software validation.

02 · Engineering decisions

How it works.

  1. 01Use a risk engine to guide validation work.
  2. 02Capture evidence with SHA-256 sidecars.
  3. 03Exercise audit and electronic-signature behavior in a demonstration QMS.
  4. 04Package reproducible checks with Docker.
Conceptual architecture
  1. Risk assessment
  2. Validation checks
  3. Evidence capture
  4. Integrity review

03 · Quality strategy

How I tested it.

The repository includes scripted tests, evidence-integrity checks, and demonstration quality-management workflows.

04 · Result & reflection

Results so far.

A working validation demonstration with test records and integrity checks available in the repository.

Scope & limitations

This is a portfolio demonstration, not a validated pharmaceutical production system or a compliance certification.

What I learned

A checksum helps detect changes to a record. Understanding that record still requires knowing which check produced it and what the result means.
