- Code Review(also: Peer Code Review)
- A software quality assurance practice in which one or more developers systematically examine source code written by a colleague, looking for bugs, design issues, readability problems, and adherence to coding standards. Code reviews can be asynchronous (reviewing pull requests)…
- Code Walkthrough
- A form of peer review in which a developer leads colleagues through a segment of code, explaining its logic, structure, and design decisions line by line. Unlike pair programming where both developers actively write code, a walkthrough is typically led by one person while others…
- Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery(also: CI/CD, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery)
- Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) is a software development practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for release on an ongoing basis. In accessibility practice, CI/CD pipelines can incorporate automated accessibility testing…
- Cross-Platform Development(also: Cross-Platform Framework, Multi-Platform Development)
- A software development approach that allows a single codebase to run on multiple operating systems or device platforms, such as iOS and Android. Frameworks like React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin enable developers to write code once and deploy it across platforms, reducing…
- Cross-Platform Development Framework(also: CPDF, Cross-Platform Framework)
