3.1
Algorithm — The ordered set of steps required to
complete a task.
3.2
Alpha testing — The first testing of software, usually
by software developers, to verify that it is working as
designed. Done in a simulated or lab environment. See
verification.
3.3
Applications software — Software that processes data
for a user. Contrast with systems software.
3.4
Assembler — A program that translates an assembly
language program into machine code. Contrast with
compiler.
3.5
Baseline — A fixed point in time in the product
development process that results from a formal event
such as a code review. The baseline is represented by an
engineering document or set of documents, which are
approved, released, and placed under change control as a
result of the event.
3.6
Beta testing — The testing of software, usually by a test
user group, that validates the software actually meets
customer requirements. See validation.
3.7
CAD — Computer Aided Design. The use of computers
to design products.
3.8
CAM — Computer Aided Manufacturing. The use of
computers to control the manufacturing of products.
3.9
CIM — Computer Integrated Manufacturing. The
