CORNERSOFT TECHNOLOGIES - COMPANY PROFILE

Company Profile >> Certifications

We have been a Microsoft Certified Partner since we began our business. The high quality and competence of our developers, a stimulating working environment augmented by a western style management and the on line Web based project control and management system we are using, offer a very competitive solution to western companies willing to outsource their software development projects. Establishing standards and procedures for software development is critical, since these provide the framework from which the software evolves. Software Quality Assurance includes the process of assuring that standards and procedures are established and are followed throughout the software system development lifecycle. We have a Quality Assurance Policy. Many organizations, unfortunately, equate quality with software that doesn't crash. Our approach is to develop, maintain and optimize our process where objectives are clearly stated, documented, well understood and followed through for the entire development process.

We are currently ISO 9001/9000-3 certified. Our VEMS^TM (Virtual Enterprise Management System^TM) facilitates a quality control system that is compliant with ISO 9001/9000-3 and CMM level 4 standards.

CMM for Software Developers

The Capability Maturity Model for Software is organized into five maturity levels. They are:

Level 1: Initial. Ad hoc, chaotic software process with few defined processes. Individual efforts and heroic rule of the day.

Level 2: Repeatable. Basic project management processes track costs, schedules and functionality with disciplines instilled to repeat earlier successes for similar applications. Basic project management controls are met with disciplines and/or tools for Requirements Management, Software Project Planning, Software Project Tracking and Oversight, Software Subcontract Management, Software Quality Assurance and Software Configuration Management.

Level 3: Defined. An Integrated, standard software process exists for the organization and includes the software processes for both management and engineering. Every project employs an approved, tailored version of the standard process for new development as well as maintenance activities. Effective software engineering and management processes are institutionalized across all projects using tools and/or disciplines for Organization Process Focus, Organization Process Definition, Training Program, Integrated Software Management, Software Product Engineering, Intergroup Coordination and Peer Reviews.

Level 4: Managed. Quantification is understood and controlled through the measurements of the process and product quality. Tools and/or disciplines in this level include Quantitative Process Management and Software Quality Management.

Level 5: Optimizing. Feedback and continuous process improvement from the process for continued enhancement. Includes tools and/or disciplines for Defect Prevention, Technology Change Management and Process Change Management.
