• Deliver a correct solution which 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 is Reliable

• Ensure the solution performs appropriately under agreed conditions for extended periods of time 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.
• Ensure the solution is robust and remains continually available.
• Respond to outages and failures when and where needed.
• Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal.
• Ensure complete data recoverability so that data may be recovered, and the desired state of the solution can be re-established (despite potential attacks).
• Ensure the solution is maintainable, and actively seek methods to reduce down-time.
• 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.
• Ensure over time, the solution becomes more mature where the interval between the interventions to remain operational become less frequent.
• Ensure in the event of a failure reduce effective downtime is to the minimum possible.

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 authorization and types.

• Ensure the solution has a high degree of survivability despite third-Party interventions (attacks, human errors, hardware or software faults).
• Employ logs and records so that actions and events can be proven to have taken place and cannot be disputed/ repudiated later.
