• This release is being managed under change control #40374 and a full set of validation documents will be published and added to the auditor share as they are approved.  

Validation Documents *Please Read*

• We continue to evolve our approach to documentation in our commitment to exceed regulatory expectations. More importantly our goal is to make it easier for clients to understand our documentation.
• For this release, instead of a general list of improvements/bugs, we will include an attached excel file that will summarize all of the changes. Here is what you will see:
  
  
• We are exclusively focused on the User Stories that drive our development process and the specific requirements needed to deliver them. Stories are verified through testing; test cases are connected directly to them.
• In our release notes, we connect all the dots to give you clear traceability and continuity.  
• For each story, we are sharing a Validation Risk Assessment protocol with clients for the first time.  
• The changes are based on a year long review of our documentation as well as feedback from clients, consultants, and our own internal audits/reviews.  
• These release notes will be updated potentially prior to the release of the OQ/OQ in the event that test cases are created/updated.
