Artech's Quality Management System provides an overall guidance to all software services provided by Artech.

Depending on project characteristics and the nature of the service being provided, Artech uses specific methodologies that provide detailed guidelines on the approach to be taken, the activities and tasks to be performed, the roles and responsibilities of various players, the techniques to be used and the deliverables to be produced.

Artech's SDLC Methodology
For all projects requiring custom application development, Artech uses its proprietary Software Development Lifecycle Methodology. The methodology is based on industry standards and Artech's own experience of managing software development projects over the last 10 years. Artech will use either a waterfall, an iterative or a RAD methodology that best meets the requirements and characteristics of the specific project. The methodology guides and facilitates development of application software and provides a structured yet flexible approach to information system delivery.

Artech's Maintenance Methodology
For all projects requiring support on maintenance and enhancements to an existing application, Artech uses its proprietary Software Maintenance Methodology. The methodology is based on IT Infrastructure Library standards and Artech's own experience of providing software maintenance support. The methodology guides and facilitates maintenance of application software and provides a structured yet flexible approach to information system delivery. The focus is on reducing the software maintenance costs by setting up streamlined processes and ensuring proper implementation by monitoring and measuring critical maintenance metrics.

Artech's Testing Methodology
Artech uses its testing methodology on all projects that exclusively require Artech's testing services or require testing as part of the full life cycle development service.
