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 authority responsible for evaluating, approving, and/or disapproving proposed engineering changes to hardware/software configurations. This board should also insure the implementation of the approved changes.
Industry:Computer; Software
The process of designing a system by identifying its major components, decomposing them into their low-level components, and iterating until the desired level of detail is achieved. Contrast with bottom-up design.
Industry:Computer; Software
A project agreed on point in time or times when specified agreements or controls are applied to the software configuration items being developed, e.g., an approved baseline or release of a specified document/code.
Industry:Computer; Software
A software engineering project deliverable document used by the maintenance personnel of the system (in contrast to the users) to enable them to maintain the system. Contrast with operator's manual, users' manual.
Industry:Computer; Software
A review to evaluate products or services under consideration and provide evidence that: (1) They are complete, (2) they comply with their standards and specifications, and (3) they are ready for the next activity.
Industry:Computer; Software
The lifecycle phase in which a system’s general architecture is developed, thereby fulfilling the requirements laid down by the software requirements document and detailing the implementation plan in response to it.
Industry:Computer; Software
The mapping of any execution of an activity where at least some input information is processed and some output information is created. One or more iterations comprise an instance. Contrast with instance; invocation.
Industry:Computer; Software
The name given to functional testing that follows modification and maintenance. Regression testing is undertaken to determine whether the modification has altered the software functions that were to remain unchanged.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The evaluation of a design to determine correctness with respect to stated requirements, conformance to design standards, system efficiency, and other criteria. (2) The evaluation of alternative design approaches.
Industry:Computer; Software
The framework, selected by each using organization, on which to map the activities of this standard to produce the software life cycle (SLC). Contrast with software life cycle (SLC); software life cycle process (SLCP).
