a cohesive collection of persistent data and the
associated program that manages it so that one or more
applications can add, modefy, retrieve, and delete the data
without concern for the data’s structure or
organization.
a facility housing the one or more production
environments (e.g., server computers, network connectivity
devices, databases, applications) that is used by an
organization to perform data processing for user
organizations.
a test coverage criteria requiring adequate test cases
such that each decision has a true and false result at least
once, and that each statement is executed at least once.
Contrast with branch coverage.
an underlying flaw in a work product (i.e., a work
product that is either inconsistent with its requirements or
with the reasonable expectations of its customers or users).
Note many defects are caused by human
errors.
Note that defect has no impact until it causes one or
more
failures.
Synonymbug.
a measurement of the importance of a defect in terms of
the impact of its associated failures.
Note: Defect severity is used to determine the
priority of defect fixing and whether or not the system is
ready to launch.
the implementation technique whereby an object or
operation subcontracts all or part of its responsibilities to
one or more server objects via message passing.
the
cycle consisting of the
collection of phases associated with the sale, development,
maintenance, and post-transition follow-up of one or more
applications for a single customer.
Contrast withdevelopment
cycle and
life cycle.
the third application-level phase, during which the new
version of the application is delivered to the customer
organization and transitioned into use by the user
organizations.
a verification and validation
technique that consists
of the execution of a application before selected members of
the
customer
organization or
user
organization in order to present its capabilities and look
and feel.
n. (1) the local, tactical, detailed inventions and
decisions concerning structure and behavior.
n. (2) the
work products that
are produced during the design activity.
Note that a design must be consistent with the
overriding requirements and architecture.
Note that a design has local implications that drive
and constrain the
implementation.
Contrast witharchitecture and
requirements.
vb. the
activity of producing
and documenting local, tactical, detailed inventions and
decisions concerning structure and behavior.
Note that design refines and extends the architecture
to the point where the design inventions and decisions can be
directly implemented.
Contrast witharchitecture and
requirements engineering.
an quality control technique during which a person
informally and individually checks the quality of a work
product, typically while setting at his/her desk.
the
cycle consisting of the
collection of phases during which a single application is
developed and transitioned to a customer.
Contrast withdelivery cycle and
life cycle.
the reusable digital information that is used in
applications to represent the unique
brand identity of
an organization including:
Logo including colors, size, and location.
Trademark, salesmark, or tag line including colors,
size, and location.
Brand typography including font face, colors, size, and
location.
Sounds and jingles.
Core beliefs and values, tone, voice, look, and feel
designed to influence the perceptions and emotional
associations (e.g., success, credibility, quality,
reliability, trust) that are brought out in the minds of
both external and internal stakeholders by the associated
products and services.
a collage of images, phrases, and artwork that captures
the character and essence of a
digital brand and acts as a
visual and emotional expression of the brand for user
experience personnel to use when designing human
interfaces.
the deliverable document in the
digital branding set that
formally captures the plan for communicating the brand both
internally within the client organization and externally to
users of the customer’s applications.
Contrast withdigital brand
strategy and
brand style
guide.
an architecture work product produced during business
engineering that consists of a paper or digital prototype
capturing the essense of the customer organization’s digital
brand.
the
activity consisting of
the cohesive collection of all tasks that are primarily
performed to create or improve the customer organization’s
digital brand.
a
security
mechanism consisting of an unforgeable electronic
signature consisting of a block of information that is
attached to a message and that could only have been created
by the sender of the message. A digital signature is
typically encrypted with the message sender’s private
key and is validated by the receiver when decrypted using the
sender’s public key. The digital signature also often
contains a digital timestamp to to support
nonreputability.
an output component which translates a computer’s digital
outputs to the corresponding analog signals needed by one or
more output devices, such as an actuator.
Contrast with
analog-to-digital converter.
any incident or event (e.g., fire, earthquake, tornado,
terrorism) that results in a major (multi-day) interruption
of operations at one or more contact or data centers.
a hardware component modeling an automated library used
to store massive amounts of information on disks. A disk
library typically contains disk drives for reading and
writing information, access ports for entering and removing
disks, and robots for moving disks between storage cells,
drives, and access ports.
Contrast withtape library.
the small component testing of a document against its
associated usability standards and its usability requirements
to determine if it contains any usability defects.
the
role that is played by a
person provides authoritative information about a given
domain of knowledge (i.e., subject matter area).
Synonymsubject matter
expert.
a
model capturing the
semantics of a business domain in terms of the essential
concepts (abstractions) of an application, their
responsibilities, their relationships, and how they
collaborate to fulfill architecturally-significant
requirements.
