A simple Description of the Zero Deviation Life Cycle (ZDLC) framework

1. ZERO DEVIATION LIFE CYCLE
ZDLC

2. • THE ZDLC ENGINEERS QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE SDLC
• IT DOES SO BY PROPOSING FOUR ENGINEERING TOOLS
• SMART REQUIREMENT ENGINEERING
• SMART SOLUTION DESIGN
• SMART QUALITY ASSURANCE
• SMART PROCESS DISCOVERY

3. Smart requirement
engineering
Smart Solution
Design
Smart Quality
Assurance
Smart Process
Discovery

4. Provides traceability of requirements
Calculates the priority of requirements
Finds the dependencies between requirements
Finds conflicts in requirements
+ + + = REDUCED AMBIGUITY
Smart requirement engineering

5. Validates requirements against design using simulation techniques
Finds design defects through formal methods
Automatically presents deviations between requirements and design
Fix design defects
+ + + = REDUCED DEFECT LEAKAGE
Smart Solution Design

6. Reduce time to run and complete test cases
Reduce time to fix defects
Simplifies end user training of the application
Improve audits and confirms test coverage
+ + + = ENSURES QUALITY
Smart Quality Assurance

7. Reverse engineers the “as - is” system behaviours
Provides a hierarchical and interactive UML models of the “as is”
Allows the users to collaborate and document UML models
Automatically updates the documentations
+ + + = PRECISE DOCUMENTATIONS
Smart PROCESS DISCOVERY

8. REDUCE AMBIGUITY
PRECISE DOCUMENTATIONS
REASSURES QUALITY
REDUCE DEFECT LEAKAGE
