Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Functionally Complete

• Deliver a solution that covers all the agreed-specified tasks and user objectives.
• Deliver a correct solution that provides the correct results with the needed degree of precision.
• Ensure checked-in code is reviewed to ensure standards are met.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution Has a High Usability Factor

• Ensure the system logically supports user self-learning on how to use the system with effectiveness and efficiency.
• Ensure the solution protects the user against making errors.
• Ensure the user interface is pleasing and presents a satisfying interaction for the user.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution is Reliable

• Ensure the solution performs appropriately under agreed conditions for extended periods without the need for intervention (despite potential attacks).
• Ensure all steps are taken to reduce the occurrence of faults due to misunderstood requirements, design errors, and implementation errors.
• Respond to outages and failures when and where needed.
• Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal.
• Ensure the solution is maintainable, and actively seek methods to reduce downtime.
• Ensure the solution is durable so that as user volumes and requirements change the solution can evolve over the long term.
• Ensure the solution simplifies support and maintenance support through traceability and effective error messaging.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution Has Effective Security

• Ensure the solution is secure and confidential by protecting all information and data (also data transmission).
• Ensure persons or other solutions have the degree of access appropriate to their level of authorisation and types.
