Software Engineering Standards:
At EXCEL-WEST we employ Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V)
standards to insure that our client's have reliable software products with a substantial system
life cycle. EXCEL-WEST will work with the client to develop, maintain, and integrate
complex systems. This means providing trusted and reliable support services that ensure
our clients achieve their corporate IT strategies on time and on budget, while meeting
specific operational system requirements.
We provide our clients with confidence that the right system is being acquired
and, being built correctly. Our IV&V services ensure that the reported acquisition
methodology and program status is accurate. Our IV&V team performs formal milestone
and product reviews, and establishes quality gates and metrics that are vital to early
defect identification and mitigation.
The EXCEL-WEST IV&V team can directly support and provide qualified guidance
during critical system acquisition activities. For example, they can participate in
critical requirements analyses, system design activities, system development, and system
testing and implementation initiatives. The team can perform detailed reviews and
independent assessments of crucial system hardware and software documentation, ensuring
accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with established engineering
standards, such as IEEE, ISO, ANSI, MIL-standards, and individual program standards.
Today's large-scale system acquisition, development, and
maintenance projects are more complex than ever. EXCEL-WEST is the client's crucial,
independent set of eyes, ensuring both project and contractor activities are sufficiently
robust and quality-driven, resulting in a safe, secure, and reliable system for you and
your clients.
