My company has several OTS Software we use in our QMS processes. We perform software validation on the majority of the Software systems based on risk and requirements. When validation is performed we document the software version number. When software versions are updated, we re-evaluate to determine if validation is required.
However, most of these OTS software are web-based, meaning they don't have a standard version release periodically with a change notification from the vendor. These web-based software providers update the software monthly with release notes only, no version number, or change notification.
How do others manage software validation for software providers that update software monthly without notifications?
