  • Apply a strategy of reusability so an asset can be used in more than one solution or in building other assets.
  • Where possible provide a mechanism for the solution to analyse its own faults and provide reports prior to a critical failure.
  • Develop the solution in a manner which supports modification for future developers thereby reducing the numbers of defects or negatively affecting system quality.

Verify Deployed Solutions
  • Ensure the solution is delivered completely and with the additional assets which are required to make installation/deployment as seamless and easy as possible.
  • Ensure the adaptable solution delivered is appropriate for different or evolving, software or other operational usage environments.
