application framework								vertical framework									A framework that provides many of the functions needed by a particular class of applications, and which is designed to be reused in the development of such applications
architectural style								architectural pattern
architecture design						Increasing profit by reducing cost and increasing revenue Ensuring that we actually conform with the requirements, thus solving the customers' problems Accelerating development, which helps reduce short-term costs, and may also ensure the software reaches the market soon enough to effectively compete Increasing qualities such as usability, efficiency, reliability, maintainability, and reusability which can help reduce costs and also increase revenues	design	software architecture^2	9.4 - Software Architecture				considerable experience			user interface design				how components will be implemented in a system							design^2

bug								failure									A colloquial term for defect or failure
burdened cost								weighted average cost

race condition								critical race		two processes or threads normally work together to achieve some outcome; however if one is sped up or slowed down then the outcome is incorrect																using various mechanisms, such as semaphores, that allow data items to be locked so that they cannot be accessed by other threads when they are not ready
shrink-wrapped software								generic software									A term for generic software, so-called because it is often sold in boxes tightly wrapped in plastic
