Web Service

A collection of functions that are packaged as a single entity and published to the network for use by other programs. They are building blocks for creating open distributed systems, and allow companies and individuals to quickly and cheaply make their digital assets available worldwide.

Web Services Interoperability (WS-I)

A consortium of a large number of companies, representing a wide range of industries including automotive, consumer packaged goods, finance, government, insurance, media, telecommunications, travel, and the computer industry. WS-I is focused on promoting the interoperability of Web services applications across different computing environments and programming languages. It does so by providing advice, best practices, and other resources intended to assist developers of Web services applications.

White-box Testing

A testing technique that derives test cases from the structure of a system or software program.

Wide Area Network (WAN)

A physical or logical network that provides capabilities for a number of independent devices to communicate with each other over a common transmission-interconnected topology in geographic areas larger than those served by local area networks.

Work Product

An item produced by an individual or Project Team. The OED Quality Policy specifies mandatory work products for review: Project Management Plan (PMP), Software Requirements Specification (SRS), Software Design Document (SDD), Function Point Workbook, Use Cases and Use Case scenarios, Supplemental Specifications (if Use Cases were created), Test Plan, Test Scripts, Code, Documentation (Release Notes, User Manual, Technical Manual, Installation Guide, Security Guide), Patch Components (if released through the National Patch Module). When object-oriented methodology is used for development during highly critical projects, class diagrams, entity relationship diagrams, and data flow diagrams must undergo the Work Product Review Process.

Work Product Review (WPR)

The formal examination or analysis of a work product by project or possibly non-project personnel.

Workload Instance Credit

Credit given to a user by the system for the number of occurrences related to a specific activity. For example, a user might select Profile Review as the activity, and the user may indicate a number of occurrences for that activity. The system will then credit the user with the number of occurrences indicated for the activity.
