  • Absolute risk reduction

    Absolute risk reduction is a statistical or measurement concept used to describe, compare, or interpret engineering data. Its meaning depends on the unit of analysis, data-generating process, and question being asked.

    Measurement and experimentation

  • Agentic software factory

    An agentic software factory is a software delivery system in which software agents perform one or more engineering tasks with access to tools, repositories, or environments under defined instructions and permissions. It requires observable outputs, human or automated review, and controls for failure and recovery.

    Measurement and experimentation

  • AI-assisted software factory

    An AI-assisted software factory is a software delivery system in which coding assistants, generative tools, or agents participate in development activities alongside human teams. Its performance depends on the surrounding feedback, review, platform, governance, and production systems, not only on how much code AI produces.

    Measurement and experimentation

  • Alternative hypothesis

    Alternative hypothesis is a statistical or measurement concept used to describe, compare, or interpret engineering data. Its meaning depends on the unit of analysis, data-generating process, and question being asked.
