GAMP 5 prescribes the most rigorous lifecycle model for this category. It requires detailed specification of user requirements, design specifications, and comprehensive code reviews. Because there is no vendor to rely upon for baseline quality, the organization takes full ownership of the software's quality. This includes stringent unit testing, integration testing, and module testing. While modern software development methodologies (such as Agile) are increasingly applied to Category 5, the regulatory requirement for traceability and control remains absolute.
