v. t. e. TestingCup – Polish Championship in Software Testing, Katowice, May 2016. Software testing is the act of checking whether software satisfies expectations. Software testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and the risk of its failure to a user or sponsor. [ 1] Software testing can determine ...
In software development, effort estimation is the process of predicting the most realistic amount of effort (expressed in terms of person-hours or money) required to develop or maintain software based on incomplete, uncertain and noisy input. Effort estimates may be used as input to project plans, iteration plans, budgets, investment analyses ...
The unified software development process or unified process is an iterative and incremental software development process framework. The best-known and extensively documented refinement of the unified process is the rational unified process (RUP).
Ontology engineering offers a direction towards solving the inter-operability problems brought about by semantic obstacles, i.e. the obstacles related to the definitions of business terms and software classes. Ontology engineering is a set of tasks related to the development of ontologies for a particular domain.
End-user development ( EUD) or end-user programming ( EUP) refers to activities and tools that allow end-users – people who are not professional software developers – to program computers. People who are not professional developers can use EUD tools to create or modify software artifacts (descriptions of automated behavior) and complex data ...
A programming paradigm is a relatively high-level way to conceptualize and structure the implementation of a computer program. A programming language can be classified as supporting one or more paradigms. [ 1] Paradigms are separated along and described by different dimensions of programming. Some paradigms are about implications of the ...
Example of a Structured Chart. [ 1] A structure chart (SC) in software engineering and organizational theory is a chart which shows the breakdown of a system to its lowest manageable levels. [ 2] They are used in structured programming to arrange program modules into a tree. Each module is represented by a box, which contains the module's name.
The Putnam model is an empirical software effort estimation model. [1] The original paper by Lawrence H. Putnam published in 1978 is seen as pioneering work in the field of software process modelling. [2] As a group, empirical models work by collecting software project data (for example, effort and size) and fitting a curve to the data.
