A system/software requirement that specifies a hardware, software, or database element with which a system/software system or system/software component must interface, or that sets forth constraints on formats, timing, or other factors caused by such an interface.
Industry:Computer; Software
A representation of software created to facilitate analysis, planning, implementation, and decision-making. The software design description is used as a medium for communicating software design information, and may be thought of as a blueprint or model of the system.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The arrangement of a computer system or component as defined by the number, nature, and interconnections of its constituent parts. (2) The functional and physical characteristics of a software system as set forth in technical documentation or achieved in a product.
Industry:Computer; Software
The controlling document for managing a software project. A software project management plan establishes policies, procedures, rules, tasks, schedules, and resources necessary to complete the project. Synonymous with software development plan, software engineering project plan.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A software requirement that affects or constrains the design of a software system or software system component. Examples of design constraints are physical requirements, performance requirements, software development standards, and software quality assurance (SQA) standards.
Industry:Computer; Software
In not-for-profit decision analysis, this method bases the desirability of an alternative on the ratio of the net benefits to the population (measurable benefits minus measurable “dis-benefits”) divided by net costs to the sponsor (measurable costs minus measurable cost savings).
Industry:Computer; Software
In an inspection (not a walkthrough), the individual that leads the inspection team through the software product in a comprehensive and logical fashion, interpreting sections of the work (for example, generally paraphrasing groups of 1–3 lines), and highlighting important aspects.
Industry:Computer; Software
The process of recording and reporting of information needed to manage a configuration effectively. This information includes a listing of the approved configuration identification, the status of proposed changes to the configuration, and the implementation status of approved changes.
Industry:Computer; Software
A semantic condition or restriction that describes a limitation or state. For example, a constraint might be a limitation on some data’s range of values or on some behavior of the application, or it could be a description of a required state of the system at a particular point in time.
Industry:Computer; Software
An element of configuration management consisting of the evaluation, coordination, approval or disapproval, and implementation of changes to configuration items after formal establishment of their configuration identification. Sometimes erroneously used for configuration management (CM).
