Capability Maturity Model IntegrationCMMI, sigle de capability maturity model integration, est un modèle de référence, un ensemble structuré de bonnes pratiques, destiné à appréhender, évaluer et améliorer les activités des entreprises d'ingénierie. CMMI a été développé dans les années 1980 par le Software Engineering Institute de l'université Carnegie-Mellon, initialement pour appréhender et mesurer la qualité des services rendus par les fournisseurs de logiciels informatiques du département de la Défense des États-Unis (DoD).
JiraJira est un système de suivi de bugs, de gestion des incidents et de gestion de projets développé par Atlassian et publié pour la première fois en 2002. Il propose des solutions à la fois à destination des développeurs et des intervenants non développeurs. En 2002 l'éditeur australien Atlassian lance la première version de son logiciel Jira à la suite d'une levée de fonds de 210 millions de dollars. Jira n'est pas un acronyme (JIRA) mais une troncation par aphérèse de Gojira (le nom japonais de Godzilla).
Software development effort estimationIn software development, effort estimation is the process of predicting the most realistic amount of effort (expressed in terms of person-hours or money) required to develop or maintain software based on incomplete, uncertain and noisy input. Effort estimates may be used as input to project plans, iteration plans, budgets, investment analyses, pricing processes and bidding rounds. Published surveys on estimation practice suggest that expert estimation is the dominant strategy when estimating software development effort.
Software requirementsSoftware requirements for a system are the description of what the system should do, the service or services that it provides and the constraints on its operation. The IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology defines a requirement as: A condition or capability needed by a user to solve a problem or achieve an objective. A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed document.
Formal specificationIn computer science, formal specifications are mathematically based techniques whose purpose are to help with the implementation of systems and software. They are used to describe a system, to analyze its behavior, and to aid in its design by verifying key properties of interest through rigorous and effective reasoning tools. These specifications are formal in the sense that they have a syntax, their semantics fall within one domain, and they are able to be used to infer useful information.
Agile modelingAgile modeling (AM) is a methodology for modeling and documenting software systems based on best practices. It is a collection of values and principles, that can be applied on an (agile) software development project. This methodology is more flexible than traditional modeling methods, making it a better fit in a fast changing environment. It is part of the agile software development tool kit. Agile modeling is a supplement to other agile development methodologies such as Scrum, extreme programming (XP), and Rational Unified Process (RUP).
Agile unified processAgile unified process (AUP) is a simplified version of the rational unified process (RUP) developed by Scott Ambler. It describes a simple, easy to understand approach to developing business application software using agile techniques and concepts yet still remaining true to the RUP. The AUP applies agile techniques including test-driven development (TDD), agile modeling (AM), agile change management, and database refactoring to improve productivity. In 2011 the AUP accounted for one percent of all the agile methodologies used.
Stand-up meetingA stand-up meeting (stum) is a meeting in which attendees typically participate while standing. The discomfort of standing for long periods is intended to keep the meetings short. By tradition, the Privy Council of the United Kingdom meets standing. According to the PMBOK (7th edition) by the Project Management Institute (PMI), daily standup is a "brief, daily collaboration meeting in which the team review progress from the previous day, declares intentions for the current day, and highlights any obstacles encountered or anticipated.
DevopsLe devops est un mouvement en ingénierie informatique et une pratique technique visant à l'unification du développement logiciel (dev) et de l'administration des infrastructures informatiques (ops), notamment l'administration système. Apparu autour de 2007 en Belgique avec Patrick Debois, le mouvement Devops se caractérise principalement par la promotion de l'automatisation et du suivi (monitoring) de toutes les étapes de la création d'un logiciel, depuis le développement, l'intégration, les tests, la livraison jusqu'au déploiement, l'exploitation et la maintenance des infrastructures.
