Does GraphPad plan to validate their software?
Not at this time. As part of the validating processes, GraphPad would have to create a lengthy document to ensure each step of software development (planning, programming, reviewing, testing, updating and documenting…) follows very detailed written procedures. The extra steps and review would be costly. While GraphPad Software is proud of how we develop software, we simply cannot comply with these requirements and continue to sell software in our price range (few hundreds of dollars). Because only a small fraction of all GraphPad customers are governed by validation regulations, we can not justify the additional expense.
