A sequence of events, e.g. executable statements, of a component or system from an entry point to an exit point.
A sequence of events, e.g. executable statements, of a component or system from an entry point to an exit point.
Permission given to a user or process to access resources.
The degree to which the identity of a subject or resource can be proved to be the one claimed.
A form of static analysis based on a representation of unique paths (sequences of events) in the execution through a component or system. control flow analysis evaluates the integrity of control flow structures, looking for possible control flow anomalies such as closed loops or logically unreachable process steps.
The degree to which a component or system can be adapted for different or evolving hardware, software or other operational or usage environments.
A type of peer review that relies on visual examination of documents to detect defects, e.g. violations of development standards and non-conformance to higher level documentation. The most formal review technique and therefore always based on a documented procedure. [After IEEE 610, IEEE 1028] See also peer review.
A result of an evaluation that identifies some important issue, problem, or opportunity.
An expert-based test estimation technique that aims at making an accurate estimation using the collective wisdom of the team members.
Testing based on an analysis of the internal structure of the component or system.
A step-by-step presentation by the author of a document in order to gather information and to establish a common understanding of its content. [Freedman and Weinberg, IEEE 1028] See also peer review.
