Founded in 1946, the IEEE Computer Society is a professional organization for computing professionals. Based in Washington, DC, it's the largest of IEEE’s 38 societies organized under the IEEE Technical Activities Board. The IEEE Computer Society is dedicated to advancing the theory, practice, and ...
The project-specific description of the process that is based on a project’s software life cycle (SLC) and the organizational process assets (OPA). Contrast with software life cycle (SLC); software life cycle model (SLCM).
Industry:Computer; Software
An automated design tool that accepts information about a program’s design and produces such outputs as module hierarchy diagrams, graphical representations of control and data structure, and lists of accessed data blocks.
Industry:Computer; Software
A physical or logical layout of the components of a system design and their internal and external connections. Examples are function-oriented (structured) design, object-oriented design, and data structure- oriented design.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A document that clearly and precisely describes each of the essential requirements (functions, performance, design constraints, and quality attributes) of the software and the external interfaces. Each requirement is defined in such a way that its achievement can be objectively verified by a prescribed method, for example, inspection, demonstration, analysis, or test. Sometime called external specifications. Contrast with internal specifications (design specifications)
Industry:Computer; Software
A milestone review to determine that the software test procedures are complete and to ensure that the software developer is prepared for formal software performance testing. The results of informal testing also are reviewed.
Industry:Computer; Software
A course of action taken to reduce the probability of and/or potential loss from a risk factor; includes executing contingency plans when a risk metric crosses a predetermined threshold (when a risk factor becomes a problem).
Industry:Computer; Software
The process of planning and controlling the identification, allocation, and flow down of requirements from the system level to the module or part level, including interfaces, verification, modifications, and status monitoring.
Industry:Computer; Software
Informally, anything of value that the company owns or is owed by others—for example, cash, accounts receivable, or equipment. More formally, the term often refers to an item of value that is subject to depreciation accounting.
Industry:Computer; Software
A structured evaluation of the software characteristics (e.g., safety, security, complexity, performance) for severity of impact of system failure, system degradation, or failure to meet software requirements or system objectives.
Industry:Computer; Software
A relationship: rlf = (reb - rea)/rmc, where reb is risk exposure before risk mitigation, rea is risk exposure after risk mitigation, and rmc is the risk mitigation activity’s cost. Larger rlfs indicate better mitigation strategies.
