Software Engineering

The systematic application of engineering principles to the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software.

Agile Methodology

An iterative approach to software development emphasising flexibility, collaboration, and rapid delivery of working software.

Scrum

An agile framework using fixed-length iterations called sprints for incremental product delivery with defined roles and ceremonies.

Kanban

Stress Testing

Testing a system beyond normal operational capacity to determine its breaking point and failure behaviour.

Technical Documentation

Written materials describing the architecture, design, APIs, and usage of software systems.

Database Design

A tool that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages.

Testing the complete application workflow from start to finish to ensure the system meets requirements.

A design pattern that prevents cascading failures by stopping calls to a failing service temporarily.

A design pattern where dependencies are provided to a component rather than created within it.

A systematic examination of source code by developers other than the author to identify bugs and improve quality.

Testing a system's behaviour under expected and peak load conditions to ensure adequate performance.

A programming construct that waits for and dispatches events or messages in a program.

A deployment strategy where changes are gradually rolled out to a small subset of users before full deployment.
