• To accomplish market leadership through the combined efforts of a dedicated workforce, thereby achieving customer satisfaction.

The systematic quality milestones followed by EDI are:

• Pre-contract Estimation
• Detailed Contract Review
• System Study
• Project plan
• Design
• Development
• Testing

Pre-contract Estimation:
For a given client requirement specification, EDI’s project leader does a detailed estimation using methods like function point analysis, to determine the effort, timeframe & other relevant attributes. This is reviewed internally by the project manager and then submitted to the client.

Detailed Contract Review:
The process ensures that the customer requirements are adequately met.
System Study:
The output of this process is the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) which describes the

• Scope of the system
• Details system Features
• Screen shots

Project plan:
Based on the previous milestones & the contract, a very detailed project plan is arrived at. This plan document consists of,

• Project organization
• Delivery Date
• Status reporting
• risks
• Quality Objectives
• Software configuration on management
• Training Plan
• Day-wise schedule

Design:
The output of this process are the High Level Design (HLD) and the Low Level Design (LLD).
High Level Design (HLD):
High level design consists of:

• Data-flow Diagrams
• Entity Relationship Diagrams
• Process Dictionary
• Data Dictionary

Low Level Design (LLD): Low level design consists of:

• Technical Architecture
• Database Design
• Application Design

Development:
The output of this process are completely tested units using unit test plans both by programmers and Quality Assurance Personnel.

Testing:
A complete application is walked through using previously prepared Integration Test plans by Quality Assurance Personnel. Quality Assurance team consists of three distinct entities, which perform a thorough two dimensional quality process. The three entities under the QA head are:

• The Developers
• Software Quality Assurance
• Complete Application Walkthrough
