Systemology
A disciplinary field organizing knowledge about systems. A set of components that functions as a whole because of the interactions between its parts, subject to influence of interaction with its environment.
Glossary
System = People + Machines + Metods + Benefits
People = Users + Administrators + Engineers
Machines = Hardware (Components and Firmware) + Software (Programs and Data)
Methods = Documentation + Training + Culture
Benefits = Advantages (Social, Economic, Personal)`
engineer = a person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems (eg. cause a system to evolve & improve)
Specification = Objectives + Requirements current Objectives = attributes + measurement methods
Requirements = true / false measurement methods
administrator = someone whose job is to keep a system operating correctly
user = someone who derives some or all of the benefit of a system
Testing = Unit Tests + Integration Tests + System Tests
Quality Assurance = Inspections + Verification + Feedback (note: test construction is engeineering)
