Unit 3-Set 2

​Development Methods

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

Strategies for building and maintaining software, such as Agile or Waterfall.

Testing

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

Running software to identify and fix bugs or performance issues.

Scalability

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

Scalability in software refers to the ability of a system to handle increasing workloads or to be easily expanded to accomodate growth.

Defect Density

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

Software quality metric that measures the number relative to the size of the software, typically expressed as defects per thousand of lines of code.

Effort Varience

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

difference between the actual spent on a project and the planned or estimated effort, typically meausred in person-hours or person days.

Cyclomatic Complexibility

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

a software metric used to measure the complexity of a program's control flow, specefically by counting the number of independent paths through the code.

Embedded system

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

specialized computing system designed to performa dedicated function or set of functions within a larger system, typically with real time constraints, limited resources, and direct interaction with hardware.

Multiprocessor

By Carmen Retief-Alharbi

a system that uses two or more processors to perform tasks, enabling increased processing power and improved performance for handling complex or resource-intensive applications.
