2. Software release life cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle

   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.

3. Software versioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning

   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.

4. N-version programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-version_programming

   N-version programming (NVP), also known as multiversion programming or multiple-version dissimilar software, is a method or process in software engineering where multiple functionally equivalent programs are independently generated from the same initial specifications. [1] The concept of N -version programming was introduced in 1977 by Liming ...

5. Software cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking

   Software cracking (known as "breaking" mostly in the 1980s [1]) is an act of removing copy protection from a software. [2] Copy protection can be removed by applying a specific crack. A crack can mean any tool that enables breaking software protection, a stolen product key, or guessed password. Cracking software generally involves circumventing ...

6. Software engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engineering

   Software engineering is an engineering approach to software development. [1] [2] [3] A practitioner, a software engineer, applies the engineering design process to develop software. The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of typical software engineer workload.

7. Freeze (software engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_(software_engineering)

   In software engineering, a freeze is a point in time in the development process after which the rules for making changes to the source code or related resources become more strict, or the period during which those rules are applied. [1] A freeze helps move the project forward towards a release or the end of an iteration by reducing the scale or ...

8. Mathcad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathcad

   Mathcad. Mathcad is computer software for the verification, validation, documentation and re-use of mathematical calculations in engineering and science, notably mechanical, chemical, electrical, and civil engineering. [2] Released in 1986 on DOS, it introduced live editing ( WYSIWYG) of typeset mathematical notation in an interactive notebook ...

9. Software design pattern - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern

   Software design pattern. In software engineering, a design pattern describes a relatively small, well-defined aspect (i.e. functionality) of a computer program in terms of how to write the code . Using a pattern is intended to leverage an existing concept rather than re-inventing it.
