| High-order tests - | (Software Engineering) black-box tests conducted once the software has been integrated |
| Interface design - | (Software Engineering) a software engineering action that establishes the structure and workflow for a user interface; follows three "golden rules:" place the user in control, reduce the user's memory leoad, make the interface consistent. |
| Integration testing - | (Software Engineering) a testing step that constructs the software while testing it |
| Interoperability - | (Software Engineering) the degree to which one application communicates or interfaces with another |
| Line-of-code metrics - | (Software Engineering) measures of quality or productivity that are normalized using lines of code produced |
| Load testing - | (Software Engineering) a testing task that determines how software (often a WebApp) will respond to various loading conditions |
| LOC - | (Software Engineering) lines of code |
| Make-buy decision - | (Software Engineering) determining whether software should be built internally, acquired, contracted or built from reusable components |
| Measurement - | (Software Engineering) collecting quantitative data about the software or the software engineering processMetrics - |
| Modularity - | (Software Engineering) an attribute of a design that leads to the creation of high quality program components |
