* Work across the entire application lifecycle, from development and testing to deployment and operations

* Ensure quality and security is underpinning the Software Development Lifecycle

−

* Total Cost Of Ownership (TCO) should include the cost for design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a system. For example Training, Support, Disaster Recovery, and Retirement Cost

* Ensure accountability for privacy is clear

* Encourage and adopt a process (for example: Test Driven Development (TDD)) to improve the trust between Business and IT

* Ensure that gender diversity and inclusion is considered as part of an intersectional approach to designing for users. Consult the Policy Direction to Modernize the Government of Canada’s Sex and Gender Information Practices and best practices for gender inclusive language. (Would note here that there are likely other examples of best practices that could be included such as positive space exemplars, but nothing else is springing to mind at the moment!)

−

* Adopt a client-centric view of business delivery through customer journey maps and end-to-end service decomposition (internal (GC) and external (public))

* Ensure data is collected in a manner that maximizes use and availability of data

* Ensure data collected aligns to existing enterprise and international standards

−

* Ensure that gender diversity and inclusion is considered according to the Policy Direction to Modernize the Government of Canada’s Sex and Gender Information Practices. The government is moving toward defaulting to gender, sex by exception, and adding a third gender option in a respectful and inclusive manner. This involves making changes in the front end (collection) and the back end (coding, display). For collecting information, the recommended approach is to offer the options “male”, “female” or the third option of “another gender”. If there is a need for more specificity and the capacity for analysis, add a write in option labelled “Please Specify”.

* Where enterprise or international standards don't exist, develop Standards in the open with key subject matter experts

* Ensure collection of data yields high quality data as per data quality guidelines

* Reduce existing data where possible

* Encourage data sharing and collaboration

−

* Validate or transform all external input before processing

−

* ''Ensure any extension or change to the Open Source item is contributed back to the community''

+

* Ensure any extension or change to the Open Source item is contributed back to the community

* If an open source option is not available or does not meet user needs, favour platform-agnostic COTS over proprietary COTS, avoiding technology dependency, allowing for substitutability and interoperability

* If a custom-built application is the appropriate option, by default any source code written by the government must be released in an open format via Government of Canada website and services designated by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

* All open source code must be released under an appropriate open source software license

−

* ''Ensure valid license and legal requirements are met for use of Open Source items''

Use Cloud first

−

* ''Adopt the Use of the GC Accelerators to ensure proper Security and Access Controls - [https://github.com/canada-ca/accelerators_accelerateurs-azure Azure], [https://github.com/canada-ca/accelerators_accelerateurs-aws AWS]''
