Professionalism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Functionality is a linguistic derivation from the terms subject and technical . The term belongs in its narrower sense u. a. to the standard vocabulary in computer science.

definition

Functionality in the narrower sense denotes all elements of the linguistic and non-linguistic form of expression that are used rationally in communication in order to refer to facts or objects of a certain domain. These include, for example, technical terms such as airbag , mockup or facelift , which have been proven to denote technical details in the automotive industry. Thus, technicality in the narrower sense includes everything that is actually technical.

Functionality in the broader sense, on the other hand, encompasses everything that only seems technical or alludes to such, such as the terms bodysplash or active care cream from the cosmetics industry, which are actually advertising-specific and extremely vague word creations in terms of content.

Expertise in software development

In the context of software systems, professionalism is placed in contrast to technical aspects such as scalability , security or robustness. The term refers to those behaviors of the software that result from the domain itself and not from non-functional or operational requirements for the software system. Expertise is often contributed by stakeholders who are not software developers.
