In this paper we share lessons learned in designing, developing, and testing features for a high-assurance smart card operating system. In particular, this paper describes our software design, development, and testing processes, and the advantages reaped from following established process guidelines. We describe the project impact experienced from external influences and count among them market pressure from a rapidly changing commercial landscape which demands agility in order to assure continued funding and product success.
