| Äquivalenzklassenbildung | Die zufällige Auswahl der Testdaten ist keine optimale Teststrategie bzw. Testmethode, da die Fehler im Code nicht zufällig verteilt sind.

Ein in diesem Sinne gut ausgewählter Testfall besitzt weiterhin die folgenden zwei Eigenschaften: Er reduziert die Anzahl anderer Testfälle, die zum Erreichen eines vorgegebenen Zieles beim sinnvollen Testen entwickelt worden sind und er überdeckt eine große Menge anderer möglicher Testfälle, d.h. er sagt etwas über die Anwesenheit oder Abwesenheit von Fehlern für diesen speziellen Satz von Eingabedaten aus. | Cellconsult | Tech.term | German |

| requirement name | A user-defined title for a requirement. Like tag and text attributes, the name can be used to reference requirements. The name is displayed by default in all Rational RequisitePro views. All requirements must have either a name, text, or both, but requirements located in documents must have text. A name does not need to be unique and can be changed at any time if you created the requirement or belong to a group that has Update permissions. | Rational | Tech.term | English |
| requirement tag | "The unique identifier of each requirement in a project. A requirement tag is composed of a tag prefix and a unique numerical value, such as ""PR100.1.2."" The tag prefix is always the requirement type, as defined in the Project Properties dialog box. The numerical value is generated by RequisitePro. The tag prefix can contain a maximum of 20 characters. Each requirement type in your project has a different tag prefix (for example, FEAT, SR, UCS) that you determine when you create a new project or add a new requirement type. When you add a requirement to a requirements document or database, RequisitePro assigns the requirement the appropriate tag prefix, dependent on its requirement type, and an incremental numerical value. See also pending tag number." | Rational | Tech.term | English |
| requirement text | The full textual content of a requirement. In a document, it may include embedded and linked objects, such as graphics, tables, and Microsoft Word files. | Rational | Tech.term | English |
| requirement type | A set of descriptive and operational Information associated with a requirement when the requirement is created. A requirement type serves as an outline for all requirements of the same type and is useful for classifying and grouping similar requirements in a project. Each requirement type has its own set of user-defined attributes. See also requirement attribute. | Rational | Tech.term | English |
| requirement type | requirement type A categorization of requirements¿for example, stakeholder need, feature, use case, supplementary requirement, test requirement, documentation requirement, hardware requirement, software requirement, and so on¿based on common characteristics and attributes. | Rational | Tech.term | English |
| requirement version | A requirement attribute that shows the version of the requirement. As a requirement evolves, it is helpful to identify the version numbers (and history) of requirements changes. | Rational | Tech.term | English |
| requirements document | A document created in Microsoft Word or RequisitePro that captures requirements and is used to communicate product development efforts. Each requirements document addresses a particular requirement type, such as product features, use cases, and supplementary specifications. A RequisitePro requirements document differs from a Word document in that you can access requirement attributes and other Information directly from within the requirements document. Also referred to as document or RequisitePro document. | Rational | Tech.term | English |

Direkt nach der Architekturfestlegung. man kann den Review als ""Walk-Through"" durchführen, indem man den Entwickler neben der favorisierten Architektur weitere Alternativen vorstellt und begründet, warum diese verworfen werden sollten. Nach dem Feinentwurf werden die bisher definierten Testcases für ein zweites Review benutzt, in dem die Funktionsfähigkeit der Architektur getestet wird. Es kann in Form einer Inspektion (formaler Review) erfolgen, bei der vor allem die Integrationsreihenfolge validiert sowie komplexe Testabläufe und Alternate Flow-Szenarien durchgespielt werden. Es soll damit geklärt werden, ob alle Komponenten und Operationen vollständig, eindeutig und widerspruchsfrei spezifiziert sind, Anforderungen aus der Produktdefinition erfüllt werden oder eventuelle Verbesserungen der Architektur vorgenommen werden sollten." | Cellconsult | Tech.term | German |

| trace to/trace from relationship | "A relationship between two requirements that implies the source, derivation, or dependencies between the requirements. The trace to/trace from state appears in a Traceability Matrix or Traceability Tree when you create a relationship between two requirements. For example, you might create a feature requirement (Requirement A) that calls for a new command to be added to a particular menu in your application. Creating this requirement might cause you to create a Software requirement (Requirement B) associated with that menu item. You would thus create a traceability relationship in which the Software requirement (B) is traced from the feature requirement (A). There can be only one traceability relationship between any two requirements. The difference between calling it a ""trace to"" or ""trace from"" relationship is one of perspective." | Rational | Tech.term | English |
