A branch of the United States military develops Government-Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) applications built on the Microsoft .NET framework. The organization was committed to using a particular instance of the framework, designed by a vendor. It selected DCG to validate the framework with an external assessment of its architectural and performance software code.

To execute the project, DCG worked with its partner organizations, CAST, a world leader in Software Analysis and Measurement, and Alliance Global, a software development firm that builds tools to perform code reviews using advanced application analytic tools.
