RE: [FDA] approval

BTW: The same deal applies to the compiler(s) used for your software. It is the end result that counts.

We do a lot of overthinking (IMHO) here (regarding other stuff), but the validation of tools was/is the easiest thing to do.

The FDA doesn't inspect the tools that you use, you do. Your SOP explains how you test the tools that you use and how you qualify them.

We use Subversion for our software and we are FDA control as well.

Because you fully test and qualify the software that you produce, part of the verification of your tools is handled by the fact you test your software. That said, what you are after is that what you put into subversion is what you get out.

So, bottom line, do not overthink it.

Hi Michael, Andy and Randomir,

Thank you all for your constructive answers, I will now report this to my Boss and hope he will change his mind about OSS...
I will let you know if it has been a successful attempt to introduce subversion in our software processes.

Have a nice time.
