By adopting CMM level 3 and ISO 9001, we defined our development processes based on our long ¨Cterm project development experience. Our software development process is listed as following:

Planning:
Before we start a new project, our technical people will make the detailed analysis based on customer requirements, including project scope, customer¡¯s business model and process, so that we can make an accurate estimation. And we will deliver our analysis report and development plan to the customer.

Kickoff:
After we receive the approval from a customer, we will propose a reasonable letter of intent to the customer. The content of the letter is about workload, required manpower, budgetary money and time.

Implementing:
We will start to develop the project as soon as customer approval. First, we will make a detailed development plan and time schedule. Secondly, we begin to develop the system under the control of our experienced project managers based on the development plan and schedule. The whole development process will strictly follows ISO 9001:2000 and also we adopt the spirit of CMMI and RUP to control the project development lifecycle.

Deployment:
As long as we finish the development and pass all our testing steps, we will work with the customer to have the acceptance test. Based on the results from the acceptance test, we will modify and test again and again to achieve perfection.

Our customer, a commercial bank in US, realized that Internet banking is on a track to become a strategic necessity to promote its competitive position. ASTI, as their long term consulting services and software development provider, finally was selected to implement internet banking solution for them¡­¡­

iNTACS e.V. (registered association) was founded as a non-profit organisation on May 11th, 2006. 27 representatives of different companies from 15 countries signed the foundation protocol. Peter Bölter (SQS AG) was unanimously elected President of iNTACS e.V. The Vice Presidents are Dr. Ludger Meyer (Siemens CT) and Prof. Dr. Dehua Ju (ASTI Shanghai, China). Klaus Dehmel (Delphi Grundig) has been elected to the board as well.
Within the registered association iNTACS e.V., representatives of consultancies, automotive industry, finance and supply industry come together as well as scientists and researchers. The association is based in Berlin. One of its tasks is to provide for a worldwide standardised training for SPiCE assessors.
Prof. Hindel had initiated the official foundation after he had been pushing the idea of this standard training together with former representatives of the Bootstrap Institute and the SPiCE user group since 2003.
The International Assessor Certification Scheme (iNTACS) has been developed in response to requests from industry for the purpose of education and certification of process assessors compliant to ISO/IEC 15504.

ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE Computer Society recognize Dehua Ju for Outstanding Contributions to the Software Engineering Community as Conference Coordination Committee Co-Chair of the 28th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2006)

Prof. Dehua Ju won the Lifetime Achievements Award for Software Engineering Excellence from United Cultural Convention, U.S.

In Global Year of Science 2006, Prof. Dehua Ju has been officially awardedThe Archimedes Award for significant contributions to Software Engineering Research and Education, given by International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, England.
Prof. Dehua Ju accepted an honor invitation to be the founding member of the International Assessor Certification Scheme (iNTACS) Association and elected as a board member of iNTACS, to jointly promote the international standard for software process improvement SPiCE/ ISO 15504.
