A Web-enabled, searchable knowledge base that enhances team productivity
and delivers software best practices through guidelines, templates, and Tool Mentors for critical
software development activities.
real-time application.
An application or system with stringent requirements for latency, throughput,
reliability, and availability. Typically understood as representing operations which happen at the same
rate as human perceptions of time.
requirement.
A condition or capability of a system, either derived directly from user needs or stated in a

The ability to generate code from a Rose visual model (see forward engineering),
and to update a Rose model file from source code (see reverse engineering).
running a pilot.
The process of generating automated scripts with TestFactory to test a mapped
application (see mapping), ensuring the maximum amount of code is exercised.
stream.
In UCM, this provides configuration instructions for your view (see view), and tracks activities
and baselines (see baselines).
