CMM

Capability Maturity Model - defined by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University. Describes the level of capability and maturity a software team could aim for and could be assessed against.

CMMI: Capability maturity Model Integration.

Framework

1. A structure for supporting or enclosing something else, especially a skeletal support used as the basis for something being constructed.

2. An external work platform; a scaffold.

3. A fundamental structure, as for a written work.

4. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality.

KPA

Key Process Area a term used in the CMM. Each key process area identifies a cluster of related activities that, when performed collectively, achieve a set of goals considered important for establishing process capability at that maturity level.

SCM

Software Configuration Management.

ODBC Connectivity

A standard database access method developed by Microsoft. The goal of ODBC is to make it possible to access any data from any application, regardless of which database management system (DBMS) is handling the data. ODBC manages this by inserting a middle layer, called a database driver , between an application and the DBMS. The purpose of this layer is to translate the application's data queries into commands that the DBMS understands. For this to work, both the application and the DBMS must be ODBC-compliant -- that is, the application must be capable of issuing ODBC commands and the DBMS must be capable of responding to them. Since version 2.0, the standard supports SAG SQL.

Two types of ODBC connections are as follows:

Jet Data Engine This connection allows ODBC-compliant databases such as Microsoft Access, Foxpro, D-Base and others.

SQL Server This allows ODBC connection via TCP/IP to a Microsoft SQL server.

OLE DB

Abbreviation of Object Linking and Embedding (pronounced as separate letters or as "oh-leh"). OLE is a compound document standard developed by Microsoft Corporation. It enables you to create objects with one application and then link or embed them in a second application. Embedded objects retain their original format and link to the application that created them

RAID5: RAID is a way of storing the same data in different places by placing data on multiple hard disks. By placing data on multiple disks operations can overlap in a balanced way, improving performance.

ADSL- Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line

A technology that allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines (POTS). ADSL supports data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate). ADSL requires a special ADSL modem.

ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network: ISDN is a set of communications standards allowing a single wire or optical fiber to carry voice, digital network services and video. ISDN is intended to eventually replace the plain old telephone system (POTS). ISDN was first published as one of the 1984 ITU-T Red Book recommendations; the 1988 Blue Book recommendations added many new features. ISDN uses mostly existing Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switches and wiring, upgraded so that the basic "call" is a 64 kilobits per second, all-digital end-to-end channel. Packet and frame modes are also provided in some places.

Leased Line

Refers to a phone line (connection) that is rented for exclusive 24-hour/7-days-a-week use from one computer or network to another, or for constant access to the Internet. Also called a dedicated line
