Sample cards from this deck

Definition
APIs and REST explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 2
Define Resources
Resources are the nouns of the system: users, posts, tasks, products.
Definition
Authentication and authorisation explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 1
Define Attribute-based access control (ABAC)
Permissions are computed from user attributes, resource attributes, and environmental context (time of day, IP address). More flexible, more complex.
Definition
Ethics in automation explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 3
Define Accountability and redress
When an automated decision is wrong, who is responsible? If a self-driving car causes a crash, is it the manufacturer, the software supplier, the safety driver, or the company that operates the fleet? Affected individuals need a clear avenue to complain and to be made whole.
Definition
Continuous integration and deployment explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 4
Define Test coverage threshold
"No PR drops coverage below 80 percent".
Definition
XSS, CSRF and SQL injection explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 2
Define Content Security Policy
Content Security Policy (script-src 'self') blocks inline and third-party scripts.
Definition
The CIA triad explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 1
Define Encryption at rest
Encryption at rest (database-level or full-disk encryption) protects data if storage is stolen.
Definition
Machine learning fundamentals explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 3
Define Label
Label (also called target): the answer column for each training example. "spam" or "not spam".
Definition
Software development methodologies explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 4
Define Daily stand-up
Daily stand-up (15 minutes): each member shares what they did, what they will do, and any blockers.
Definition
Databases and SQL explained: HSC Software Engineering Module 2
Define Foreign key
