The software release life cycle is the process of developing, testing, and distributing a software product (e.g., an operating system ). It typically consists of several stages, such as pre-alpha, alpha, beta, and release candidate, before the final version, or "gold", is released to the public. An example of a basic software release life cycle ...
ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 Systems and software engineering – Software life cycle processes[ 1] is an international standard for software lifecycle processes. First introduced in 1995, it aims to be a primary standard that defines all the processes required for developing and maintaining software systems, including the outcomes and/or activities of ...
Application software. An application program ( software application, or application, or app for short) is a computer program designed to carry out a specific task other than one relating to the operation of the computer itself, [ 1] typically to be used by end-users. [ 2] Word processors, media players, and accounting software are examples.
Application lifecycle management ( ALM) is the product lifecycle management ( governance, development, and maintenance) of computer programs. It encompasses requirements management, software architecture, computer programming, software testing, software maintenance, change management, continuous integration, project management, and release ...
Software versioning. Software versioning is the process of assigning either unique version names or unique version numbers to unique states of computer software. Within a given version number category (e.g., major or minor), these numbers are generally assigned in increasing order and correspond to new developments in the software.
State (computer science) In information technology and computer science, a system is described as stateful if it is designed to remember preceding events or user interactions; [ 1] the remembered information is called the state of the system. The set of states a system can occupy is known as its state space.
In agile software development, an information radiator is a (normally large) physical display, board with sticky notes or similar, located prominently near the development team, where passers-by can see it. [36] It presents an up-to-date summary of the product development status.
A finite-state machine ( FSM) or finite-state automaton ( FSA, plural: automata ), finite automaton, or simply a state machine, is a mathematical model of computation. It is an abstract machine that can be in exactly one of a finite number of states at any given time. The FSM can change from one state to another in response to some inputs; the ...
