<\/span><\/span>EPYA Development Guidelines of Excellence (EDGE) is EPYA Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) guidance on how to effectively design, develop, test, deploy, operate, and support software solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

EDGE methodology as described below, is utilized in EPYA\u2019s projects and is subject to change according to the nature of the engagement and project needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

EDGE is a first class software development process that has been developed based on accredited and certified worldwide best practices and guidelines such as those provided by PMI (Project Management Institute), and MSF (Microsoft Solutions Framework).<\/span><\/p>\n

EDGE is an iterative, scenario-driven development process for building software applications. It directly incorporates practices for handling quality of service requirements such as performance and security, and it explicitly calls out project risk as a success criterion for the optimal delivery of software. EDGE anticipates the need to adapt to change, and focuses on people as the most important component to the success of a project. It also emphasizes the delivery of working software and promotes customer validation as key success measures and broad quality assurance and process improvement initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n
