Responsibilities
Technical Outputs:
Design Fit for Purpose Solutions & Algorithms
- Design solutions using most appropriate approved architectural pattern.
- Design solutions for multi-tier architectures.
- Ensure design meets best practices and are Test, DevOps and Support friendly
Perform Planning
- Identify and establish objectives for self.
- Work on objectives or goals within timeline.
- Consider all reasonable factors, impediments, and obstacles.
Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Functionally Complete
- Deliver a solution which covers all the agreed specified tasks and user objectives.
- 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 has a High Usability Factor
- Ensure the user/s of the solution can achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction.
- Ensure the system logically supports user self-learning on how to use the system with effectiveness and efficiency.
- Ensure the solution protects the user against making errors.
- Ensure the user interface is pleasing and presents a satisfying interaction for the user.
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.
- Respond to outages and failures when and where needed.
- Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal.
- 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.
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 high integrity where the solution prevents unauthorised access to, modification of computer programs, data, or settings.
- Ensure the solution has a high degree of survivability despite third-Party interventions (attacks, human errors, hardware, or software faults).
