We perform testing in line with PM2, RUP or AUP methodologies, depending on the Client’s environment.
PM2 is a project management (PM) methodology integrating PRojects IN Controlled Environments 2 (PRINCE2) and PM Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) to provide the better of the two worlds. Both methodologies break the project lifecycle into separate phases and specify the deliverables that should be produced as outcome of each phase. PRINCE 2 separates the project into pre-project, initiation, subsequent delivery stage(s) and final stage, and specifies a set of processes for managing a project and each of its stages. PMBOK divides PM activities into the Process Groups: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing.
The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a software engineering process based on iterative approach during software development, emphasising use of models to replace tedious documentation for the description of the system. RUP is a process framework meant to be adapted to each individual organisation’s needs following a list of best practices integral to the methodology and to the success of a software project.
The Agile Unified Process (AUP) is an applied version of RUP based on agile techniques and concepts, such as Test Driven Development and Agile Change Management.

Fighting climate change
EUROPEAN DYNAMICS (ED) is a group of companies operating primarily from Luxembourg, Belgium, and Greece. We have a branch in London collocated at the premises of our accountant, with no employees.
We maintain a net-zero footprint in the UK since 2022 when we started keeping records. We issue annual Carbon Reduction Plans that document our contribution in fighting climate change. We advocate environmental protection in our interactions with our employees, contractors, and partners.
For the UK company, our Carbon Reduction Plan is already at zero as it does not have any operations in the UK: all activities are outsourced to other companies of the ED group and the contractual/financial management activities are also carried out abroad. We do not have any transportation activity in the UK. We do not produce any waste and we have no employees.
For other companies in the ED group offering services in the UK, the services are provided remotely (in Software as a Service mode) in all but one contract. With respect to all these contracts, our carbon footprint is zero, as far as the UK is concerned. We have one contract for IT services, which are offered through a UK data centre who is reporting its emissions.
Based on the above, there are no emission reduction targets as we are already at Net Zero.Covid-19 recovery
To address the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic we take the following measures:
• Most of our consultants work remotely. We provide pre-configured laptops enabling secure access through VPN to our resources. This has also a positive impact to the environment, since transport to company premises is no more necessary.
• Bottles containing antiseptic liquid are available on all the floors.
• Posters remind our personnel about standard measures preventing spread of the virus, such as covering the nose and mouth when sneezing, frequent hand wash with soap, etc.
• Scholastic cleaning of WCs and surfaces on which the virus can survive.
• Frequent ventilation of all the rooms by regularly opening windows.Equal opportunity
EUROPEAN DYNAMICS is an equal opportunity employer and applies an Equal Opportunities Policy (EOP) for this purpose. This policy covers all aspects of employment, from advertising of vacancies, selection, recruitment and training to working conditions and reasons for termination of employment.
We take measures to increase the representation of disabled people in our workforce. We support disabled people in developing new skills relevant to our activities, including through training schemes that result in recognised qualifications.
We regularly monitor the working environment and take appropriate action if necessary to ensure that our EOP operates effectively. Our actions eliminate immediately unlawful direct and indirect discrimination and promote equality of opportunity.
We influence staff, suppliers, customers, and communities to support disabled people. We also take measures to identify and tackle inequality in employment, skills and pay in our workforce. We support career development to help people, including those from disadvantaged or minority groups, to move into higher paid work by developing new skills relevant to our activities.
Our long-term aim is to proportionally represent all socially disadvantaged groups in the composition of our workforce. We set targets with a fixed timetable for hiring people belonging to groups that are underrepresented in the workforce. Where necessary, specific steps in conformance with relevant legislation are taken to help disadvantaged and/or underrepresented groups to compete for jobs on a genuine equal opportunity basis. Our EOP and the measures for its implementation are based on advice from relevant bodies and in consultation with representatives of our employees.Wellbeing
We promote a healthy work-life balance to prevent our staff burnout and improve retention. We use actions to promote the well-being of our people, such as subscription in team sports academies and training and education by professional fitness trainers.
We also promote collaboration with the community and participate in, sponsor or organise events that support the health and wellbeing in our workforce and the community at large.
We also have an annual program of bonding events aiming to enhance bonding among teams across the company. Events include evening gatherings, parties, and excursions to promote the spirit of corporate affinity.
