Smarter Validation with Cerberus Testing: A Game-Changer for Regulated Industries
May 26, 2025
In industries like pharmaceuticals, biotech, and medical technology, where strict regulations govern every process, validating computer systems is a must. These systems, critical for GxP processes, need to ensure patient safety, product quality, and accurate data. As technology gets more complex, old-school validation methods cant keep up with the demands of compliance, data protection, and inspection readiness.
This blog explores how Cerberus Testing, an open-source automation platform, makes validation smarter and how Valina Services helps businesses put it into action the right way.
Why Old Validation Methods Arent Enough
Manual testing takes a lot of time, often requiring days or weeks to complete full testing cycles. Every system update means hours of retesting and paperwork. Plus, human mistakes and inconsistent records can create gaps that lead to compliance issues.
