Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. The term was coined in the year 2001 when the Agile Manifesto was formulated. Agile methods generally promote a disciplined project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organization and accountability, a set of engineering best practices that allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software, and a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals. Conceptual foundations of this framework are found...

Agile testing is a software testing practice that follows the principles of the agile manifesto, emphasizing testing from the perspective of customers who will utilize the system. Agile testing does not emphasize rigidly defined testing procedures, but rather focuses on testing iteratively against newly developed code until quality is achieved from an end customer's perspective. In other words, the emphasis is shifted from "testers as quality police" to something more like "entire project team working toward demonstrable quality." Данное издание не является оригинальным....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ajax is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. The use of Ajax techniques has led to an increase in interactive or dynamic interfaces on web pages. Data is usually retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object. Despite the name, the use of XML is not actually required, nor do the requests need to be asynchronous. Like DHTML and LAMP, Ajax is not a technology in itself, but a group of technologies. Ajax uses a combination of HTML and CSS to mark up and style...

PowerBASIC is the brand of several commercial compilers by Venice, Florida-based PowerBASIC Inc. that compile a dialect of the BASIC programming language. The DOS versions have a syntax similar to that of QBasic and QuickBASIC, while the Windows versions utilize a standard BASIC syntax combined with calls to the API similar to other Windows programming languages. The first version was published as BASIC/Z; later it was distributed by Borland as Turbo Basic and since 1989, it has been known as PowerBASIC. PowerBASIC is a native-code BASIC compiler whose reported merits are its simplicity of use and its speed...

Algebraic Logic Functional programming language also known as ALF is a programming language which combines functional and logic programming techniques. Its foundation is Horn clause logic with equality which consists of predicates and Horn clauses for logic programming, and functions and equations for functional programming. ALF was designed to be genuine integration of both programming paradigms, and thus any functional expression can be used in a goal literal and arbitrary predicates can occur in conditions of equations. ALF's operational semantics is based on the resolution rule to solve literals and...

Algebraic specification is a formal process of refining specifications to systematically develop more efficient programs. If one considers an algebraic specification of the Booleans the constructors can be true and false. In that case all other connectives, such as ^ and _, may be considered to be additional functions. Alternatively, also the combination of false and ¬ can be considered constructors. In that case true may be considered an additional function. In the context of the description of state and state change one may think of the sort as the set of possible states (not necessarily all of them can occur...

Recent second and third order finite difference schemes for the computation of weak solution of hyperbolic conservation laws are modified resulting in methods for stiff or non-stiff systems. The modified schemes also fall in the class of central schemes, all of which can be viewed as based on the well-known Lax-Friedrichs (LxF) schemes. The schemes are Riemann-solver free high resolution schemes and therefore not tied to any Eigen- structure of the problem. They can be implemented in a straight forward manner as black-box solvers for general conservation laws and related equations governing the evolution of large gradient phenomena. Their capabilities for both short-time and long-time scheme integrations are assessed. These modified...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Les algorithmes recursifs et les fonctions recursives sont fondamentaux en informatique. Un algorithme est dit recursif s'il s'appelle lui-meme. Les premiers langages de programmation qui ont introduit la recursivite sont LISP et Algol 60 et maintenant tous les langages de programmation modernes proposent une implementation de la recursivite.

In automata theory, an alternating finite automaton (AFA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton whose transitions are divided into existential and universal transitions. A basic theorem tells that any AFA is equivalent to an non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA) by performing a similar kind of powerset construction as it is used for the transformation of an NFA to a deterministic finite automaton (DFA). This construction converts an AFA with k states to an NFA with up to 2k states.An alternative model which is frequently used is the one where Boolean combinations are represented as clauses. For instance, one...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! AMPL, an acronym for "A Mathematical Programming Language", is an algebraic modeling language for describing and solving high-complexity problems for large-scale mathematical computation (i.e. large-scale optimization and scheduling-type problems). It was developed by Robert Fourer, David Gay and Brian Kernighan at Bell Laboratories. AMPL does not solve problems directly; instead, it calls appropriate external solvers (such as CPLEX, FortMP, MINOS, IPOPT, SNOPT, KNITRO, and so on) to obtain solutions. Problems are passed to solvers as nl files. One particular advantage of AMPL is the similarity of its syntax to the mathematical notation of optimization problems. This allows for a very concise...

This book provides insight to some of the modern techniques designed for the execution of various projects. In this book, Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), and the Critical Path Method (CPM) which have been designed to plan, coordinate, and control the performance of activities that comprise complex projects are emphasized. When combined with applications of probability theory, PERT may be used to predict the duration of activities, and forecast the completion date of a project. CPM enhances a manager's ability to use resources in an efficient way by providing a strategy for determining which activities can be expedited to minimize total project costs. Together, PERT and CPM rationalize the central tasks of project...

Software Product Lines (SPLs) are sets of software systems that share a common base of features and satisfy the needs of specific market segments. SPLs are developed from a common architecture and share a set of reusable artifacts (designed for a specific domain). Among the main activities in the life cycle of a SPL is the management of variations in all the artifacts that belongs to it. Particularly, the choice of programming techniques that enable variability in implementation artifacts is an activity that deserves much attention. The choice of which technique to use in order to deal with variations in the implementation artifacts of a SPL can result in significant impacts on the quality of these artifacts and also in the resulting...

A simple and practical definition, however, would be how an entity (i.e., business) arrives at an optimal or realistic decision based on existing data. Business managers may choose to make decisions based on past experiences or rules of thumb, or there might be other qualitative aspects to decision making; but unless there are data involved in the process, it would not be considered analytics.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In computing, an anonymous function is a function (or a subroutine) defined, and possibly called, without being bound to an identifier. Anonymous functions originate in the work of Alonzo Church in his invention of the lambda calculus in 1936 (prior to electronic computers), in which all functions are anonymous. The Y combinator can be utilised in these circumstances to provide anonymous recursion, which Church used to show that some mathematical questions are unsolvable by computation. (Note: this result was disputed at the time, and one year later his student Alan Turing provided a proof that was more generally accepted.) Данное издание не является...
