A practice of performing testing activities in the production environment to monitor and validate the behavior and performance of software in real-world conditions. Crucial for ensuring the stability, reliability, and user satisfaction of digital products in a live environment.
The process of running a system for an extended period to detect early failures and ensure reliability. Important for ensuring the stability and performance of digital products before full-scale deployment.
A quick and often temporary fix applied to a software product to address an urgent issue without going through the full development cycle. Essential for maintaining the stability and functionality of digital products in the face of critical issues.
An environment that replicates the production environment, used for final testing before deployment. Crucial for ensuring that digital products are thoroughly tested and perform as expected before going live.
A deployment strategy where a new version is released to a small subset of users to detect any issues before a full rollout. Crucial for minimizing risk and ensuring the stability of digital products during updates and deployments.
The setting where software and systems are actually put into operation for their intended use. Essential for ensuring that products are fully functional and meet user requirements in a real-world setting.
A preliminary testing phase conducted by internal staff to identify bugs before releasing the product to external testers or customers. Crucial for ensuring product quality and functionality before broader release.
A preliminary testing method to check whether the most crucial functions of a software application work, without going into finer details. Important for identifying major issues early in the development process and ensuring the stability of digital products.
A performance testing method that evaluates the system's behavior and stability over an extended period under a high load. Essential for identifying memory leaks and ensuring the reliability and performance of digital products under prolonged use.
The rate at which employees leave a company and are replaced by new hires, often used as a measure of organizational health and stability. Essential for understanding workforce dynamics and designing strategies to improve employee retention.
The observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes. Useful for designing experiences that maintain user engagement and satisfaction over time.
The perception of objects as unchanging despite changes in sensory input, such as changes in lighting, distance, or angle. Important for understanding user perception and designing stable visual experiences.
A model of organizational change management that involves preparing for change (unfreeze), implementing change (change), and solidifying the new state (refreeze). Important for successfully implementing and sustaining changes in product design processes and organizational practices.
The principle that elements in a digital interface maintain consistent appearance, position, and behavior across different pages and states to help users maintain orientation and familiarity. Important for creating a stable and predictable user experience, reducing disorientation and enhancing usability.
