- CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Languages)
CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Languages): A consortium formed in the late 1950s that significantly contributed to the development of database management systems and the COBOL programming language. CODASYL introduced the network database model, laying the groundwork for future relational models, and its innovations were extensively applied in business contexts.
- Code of ethics ISACA
Code of ethics ISACA: A set of principles specifically designed for IT governance, risk, cybersecurity, and assurance professionals. These principles stipulate professional standards for fairness, honesty, confidentiality, and professional competence. ISACA members and certification holders are required to adhere to this code, promoting trust and value in the industries they serve.
- Code of ethics - ISC2
Code of ethics - ISC2: A set of professional principles adhered to by members of ISC2 (International Information System Security Certification Consortium), a non-profit organization specializing in training and certifications for cybersecurity professionals. The code stipulates four mandatory canons - Protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure. Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally. Provide diligent and competent service to principals. Advance and protect the profession.
- Code repository
Code repository: A centralized place where developers store, manage, track, and control different versions of software code. It enables collaboration, allowing multiple contributors to work on a project without overwriting each other's changes. This tool is vital for maintaining version control and enabling rapid recovery if necessary. Repositories can be hosted on a local server or on a cloud-based platform, with popular services including GitHub and Bitbucket.
- Code review
Code review: The systematic examination of source code, usually carried out by someone other than the author, with the goal of identifying bugs, security breaches, or violations of development guidelines. This process not only enhances the overall quality of the software but also promotes knowledge sharing among the team, leading to better understanding and collaboration.
- Coding guidelines and standards
Coding guidelines and standards: A set of conventions or rules established for a specific programming language or development environment. These rules dictate the use of naming conventions, commenting, indentation, error handling, and more, with the intent of improving code readability, maintainability, and robustness. Adhering to such guidelines and standards is essential for facilitating team collaboration and ensuring the consistent quality of the software product.
