Robust measures of scaleIn statistics, robust measures of scale are methods that quantify the statistical dispersion in a sample of numerical data while resisting outliers. The most common such robust statistics are the interquartile range (IQR) and the median absolute deviation (MAD). These are contrasted with conventional or non-robust measures of scale, such as sample standard deviation, which are greatly influenced by outliers.
International developmentInternational development or global development is a broad concept denoting the idea that societies and countries have differing levels of economic or human development on an international scale. It is the basis for international classifications such as developed country, developing country and least developed country, and for a field of practice and research that in various ways engages with international development processes. There are, however, many schools of thought and conventions regarding which are the exact features constituting the "development" of a country.
Sociologie du développementLa sociologie du développement se questionne sur les processus de développement sociaux et économiques. Cette branche de la sociologie place ces processus en regard de ses impacts sur la société (communauté, village, ville, pays ou région). Le terme "sociologie du développement" est plus courant dans la littérature en anglais qu'il ne l'est en français. La sociologie du développement est généralement à la croisée des chemins de l'histoire, de l'anthropologie et de la science politique.
Software requirements specificationA software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system to be developed. It is modeled after the business requirements specification (CONOPS). The software requirements specification lays out functional and non-functional requirements, and it may include a set of use cases that describe user interactions that the software must provide to the user for perfect interaction.
Product (business)In marketing, a product is an object, or system, or service made available for consumer use as of the consumer demand; it is anything that can be offered to a market to satisfy the desire or need of a customer. In retailing, products are often referred to as merchandise, and in manufacturing, products are bought as raw materials and then sold as finished goods. A service is also regarded as a type of product. In project management, products are the formal definition of the project deliverables that make up or contribute to delivering the objectives of the project.
Test (informatique)vignette|Une programmeuse écrivant du code Java avec JUnit. En informatique, un test désigne une procédure de vérification partielle d'un système. Son objectif principal est d'identifier un nombre maximal de comportements problématiques du logiciel. Il permet ainsi, dès lors que les problèmes identifiés seront corrigés, d'en augmenter la qualité. D'une manière plus générale, le test désigne toutes les activités qui consistent à rechercher des informations quant à la qualité du système afin de permettre la prise de décisions.
Software development processIn software engineering, a software development process is a process of planning and managing software development. It typically involves dividing software development work into smaller, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to improve design and/or product management. It is also known as a software development life cycle (SDLC). The methodology may include the pre-definition of specific deliverables and artifacts that are created and completed by a project team to develop or maintain an application.
Constraint logic programmingConstraint logic programming is a form of constraint programming, in which logic programming is extended to include concepts from constraint satisfaction. A constraint logic program is a logic program that contains constraints in the body of clauses. An example of a clause including a constraint is . In this clause, is a constraint; A(X,Y), B(X), and C(Y) are literals as in regular logic programming. This clause states one condition under which the statement A(X,Y) holds: X+Y is greater than zero and both B(X) and C(Y) are true.
Conception de produitLa conception de produit est le processus permettant de matérialiser des concepts, de concrétiser des objets, des biens, des équipements, ou de créer des services, des techniques, voire des systèmes complexes, différents de ceux existants, et qui proposent des réponses en adéquation avec des besoins collectifs ou particuliers, afin d'apporter un bénéfice aux usagers.
Test de validationUn test de validation est un type de test informatique qui permet de vérifier si toutes les exigences client, décrites dans le document de spécification du logiciel, sont respectées. Les tests de validation se décomposent généralement en plusieurs phases : Validation fonctionnelle : les tests fonctionnels assurent que les différents modules ou composants implémentent correctement les exigences client. Ces tests peuvent être de type valide, invalide, inopportuns, etc.
Requirements engineeringRequirements engineering (RE) is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements in the engineering design process. It is a common role in systems engineering and software engineering. The first use of the term requirements engineering was probably in 1964 in the conference paper "Maintenance, Maintainability, and System Requirements Engineering", but it did not come into general use until the late 1990s with the publication of an IEEE Computer Society tutorial in March 1997 and the establishment of a conference series on requirements engineering that has evolved into the International Requirements Engineering Conference.
Automatisation de testL'automatisation de test permet de jouer à volonté des tests de régression à la suite de la livraison d'une nouvelle version d'une application. L'automatisation d'un test n'a de sens que si le test répond à un certain nombre de critères : le test est systématique : il doit être exécuté à chaque nouvelle version de l'application. le test est répétitif : il est présent dans de nombreux scénarios de test. le test est automatisable : il est possible techniquement de faire jouer le test par un robot.
