Taxonomy of software change
Posted: Wed Dec 25, 2013 1:32 am
Changes to the BlackBox framework need a categorization because there are different types.
I suggest the following.
Framework
o Bugs (software is wrong)
o Oversights (missing behavior in an extant module)
o Additions (new capabilities added to framework)
o Removals (capabilities removed from framework)
o Versions (issuance of new framework versions containing any of the above changes)
Libraries
The Component Pascal Collection is an example of a library (of modules).
Arbitrary modifications, additions, or removals may occur to libraries without
the approval of the Center.
