Blueprint for a Pop-up SARS-CoV-2 Testing Lab

Jennifer A. Doudna

The previously tested and verified Lockbox LIMS software v1.48 was used as the template for the LIMS. Prior to clinical sample testing, the customized Lockbox LIMS was verified by Third Wave Analytics personnel to ensure that all customizations function appropriately per the unique user requirements for the SARS-CoV-2 detection workflow. To that end, all requirements were documented in Third Wave Analytics' internal software verification system, first detailing all user requirements for how the system should function for the end laboratory user. Secondly, each user requirement then had a list of all the functional requirements for how the LIMS was specifically customized to meet the user requirements. Test cases were then created and run for each specific functional requirement, to document that each specific functional requirement was met. Upon the verification of the customized Lockbox LIMS software by Third Wave Analytics, the end users in the laboratory performed additional user acceptance testing to verify that the software performed as anticipated.
