Integration and Selection

Check the supported target hardware, operating environment and development tools before starting the integration.

Record dependencies, licence scope and the release version used in the evaluation.

Plan for error handling, diagnostics and updates as part of the application design. Test startup, disconnects and recovery under representative load. A working demonstration should lead to a documented deployment configuration, with clear ownership of maintenance and a repeatable way to build and install the software.
