Abstract:
This thesis examines current system development processes of three major Turkish banks in terms of compliance to internationally accepted system development and software engineering standards. After a deep scan on system development and software engineering standards, related processbased standards are selected and used to form a question list covering whole system development process that is ordered like classical Waterfall life cycle model. Each question in the checklist is made up of guidance and suggestions from the international system development standards. Later on, questions are interviewed with information technology departments of three major banks in Turkey. Results have been aggregated by examining current process status of three banks together and problematic points have been identified using international system development standards.
