immediate environment in which a function (or set of functions) operates

Component - specific, named collection of features that can be described by an IDL component definition or a corresponding structure in an interface repository (ISO/IEC 19500)

module - program unit that is discrete and identifiable with respect to compiling, combining with other units, and loading (ISO/IEC 19506)

Faults are the cause, and failures are the effect

analysis - examine the historical data, understand present and assess the gap or differences between them, includes listing and prioritizing the specific actions or tasks required to close the gap.

analytics - try to predict future for decision making

referring to mathematics equation or plot diagram. e.g. f(x) = 1/x

referring to executable runtime program, e.g. kotlin app.

role typically encompasses a variety of duties, tasks, and responsibilities that collectively define what is expected of an individual in that position

accountability is outcome-oriented

Responsibility is task-oriented

competency - know-what (knowledge area)

skill - know-how

disposition - know-why

Engineering is a broad field that involves the application of scientific principles, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to design, build, maintain, and improve structures, systems, devices, and processes.

Programming, also known as coding or software development, involves writing instructions in a programming language to enable a computer to perform a specific task or set of tasks.

architecture depicts at macro level, focus on abstraction, quality attributes impacting overall system long term strategy by ADR

design depicts at micro level, forcing on implementation, impacting maintainability, readability by codebase

Requirements are detailed specifications or criteria that describe the features, functionalities, constraints, and qualities a product, system, or project must meet to satisfy stakeholders.

Needs are high-level statements that express the overarching goals, desires, or problems that stakeholders aim to address or solve through a project, product, or system.

Quality Assurance is a comprehensive process that focuses on preventing defects and ensuring that the entire software development life cycle (SDLC) follows best practices and standards. It is a proactive approach to quality management.

Testing: Testing is a specific and integral part of QA that involves executing the software with the intent of finding defects or verifying that it meets specified requirements. It is a reactive approach to ensuring software quality.

release is feature made available to users

deployment involves transferring the software from a development or testing environment to a production environment.

product has lifespan while project is task driven.

A solution is a comprehensive answer or resolution to a problem or challenge. It involves identifying the best approach, strategy, or set of actions to achieve a desired outcome.

Implementation is the process of executing action outlined in the solution. It involves the practical application of ideas to achieve the desired results.

POC validate the concept

MVP is problem solution fit but not yet product market fit

MMP is product market fit with revenue and profit

Reason and Logic: Rationalism in software development often involves the use of reason, logic, and mathematical methods to ensure the correctness of software. This includes formal methods and mathematical proofs to verify that the software adheres to specifications. (Plato)

Empirical Observation: Empiricism in market observation involves gathering data through direct observation, experimentation, and real-life experiences. It focuses on collecting factual data from the market environment. (Aristotle)

Incentive: An incentive is something that motivates or encourages someone to take a particular action or exhibit a specific behavior. It is typically a positive reinforcement that is linked to desired outcomes.

Reward: A reward is something given or received in return for good behavior, effort, or achievement. It is a positive consequence intended to reinforce positive actions.

Recognition: Recognition involves acknowledging and appreciating an individual’s contributions, efforts, or achievements. It is a form of positive feedback that highlights the value of a person’s work.

One key difference between Plato and Aristotle lies in their views on forms or ideas. Plato believed in a world of perfect, eternal forms, separate from the physical realm, while Aristotle emphasized the importance of studying the material world to understand reality.
