Enterprise Application Security Assessment Services (QA)

Secure IT - To Secure Customer Information and IT Infrastructure from Threats

Software development projects often follow an undisciplined, unstructured course leading to a haphazard and even chaotic development environment. Projects on this path run the risk of producing a poorly designed and developed system that does not meet the client’s needs or expectations.

Datawiz’s approach lays the groundwork for the development of high quality systems that feature greater functionality and reliability. Compliant with the IEEE 1012-1998 IV&V standards, our methods for providing Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services keep projects on track by providing an orderly method for software quality assurance. Furthermore, ongoing quality and process improvement are an integral part of our methodology and support the enhancement of the development process itself. Datawiz IV&V teams work side-by-side with the user and developer teams to create positive and productive interaction among all project stakeholders and to produce a greater flow of critical information between all parties.

What can Datawiz clients expect from our IV&V Services? Results! Results will be found in accurate requirements definition, lower development effort, implementation with fewer pitfalls and complications, and easier system maintenance. Upon completion of an IV&V project, Datawiz clients can expect systems that not only meet their requirements, but which enhance the productivity and efficiency of their operations.

Datawiz professionals are equipped to execute proven IV&V processes and accomplish the full scope of the IV&V effort. Datawiz offers a suite of IV&V procedures and documents, support software, methodologies, and proven IV&V techniques. Our approach can be tailored to fit the size, scope, and duration of each development project.

The Datawiz Approach

The Datawiz approach to IV&V is supported by metrics and controls for measuring progress and ensuring a common understanding of the development process. The activities incorporated into our methodology are listed below:

Concept Exploration	Examine proposed architecture and operation concepts Support trade-off, technology and cost-benefit studies Perform risk assessments & mitigation studies
Requirements Definition	Ensure capture of all user requirements Validate requirements against user needs Perform gap analysis for COTS and custom systems Quantify system specifications
System Implementation	Provide rapid application development support Perform IV&V testing during the prototyping, refining, building and integrating of each system module Ensure continued involvement of system stakeholders Conduct ongoing review and evaluation
Acceptance	Ensure that the system works consistently Validate that the system delivers the required functionality Validate that the system fulfills the user's defined needs Ensure that the system does not degrade overall system operation Validate that the system integrates well into the larger structure Validate that the system delivers the necessary level of security Make sure that the system is sufficiently documented
Fielding	Verify that the new module or application functions within the production environment without negatively impacting other system functions Verify that the new module or application is robust enough to tolerate multiple user configurations Installs seamlessly and operates without customized installation Conduct ongoing review and evaluation
System Enhancement	Avoid ad-hoc system enhancements that usually adversely affect system performance Support a full lifecycle implementation for any needed system enhancements, from concept to fielding phases Ensure continued involvement of system stakeholders Conduct ongoing review and evaluation
