CAN (Controller Area Network)
Controller Area Network aka CAN aka CAN Bus is a wiring standard for vehicles that enables communication between various components and devices without having a host computer. For example doors, brakes, transmission.
Source Control (SCM)
Software configuration management aka SCM or Source Code Control System or Source Control aka Version Control. A system that keeps track of changes and revisions in software, as well as facilitating cooperative development.
Subversion (cloud computing)
From NIST: "cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction."
WebDAV
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning. It's a method of using the web (http) to share files and collaborate.
Subversion (WebDAV)
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning. It's a method of using the web (http) to share files and collaborate.
Git
Git is a version control or source control system or SCM. It's well-suited for open-source type projects that are decentralized and rely on merging.
Subversion (Git)
Git is a version control or source control system or SCM. It's well-suited for open-source type projects that are decentralized and rely on merging.
SVN
SVN aka Subversion is a source control system or SCM, designed to work similar to CVS but with improvements to address limitations inherent in CVS.

ALM
Application Lifecycle Management is the set of tools and processes to manage software from inception through developing, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
Application Lifecycle Management is the set of tools and processes to manage software from inception through developing, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
hypervisor
A light-weight OS that primarily sits between virtual machines and the hardware. Its job is to manage the physical resources and share them between the virtual machines. Since it's not a full-blown OS it takes less resources itself and provides better performance.
ESXi (hypervisor)
A light-weight OS that primarily sits between virtual machines and the hardware. Its job is to manage the physical resources and share them between the virtual machines. Since it's not a full-blown OS it takes less resources itself and provides better performance.
ESXi (ESX)
virtual machine software called a hypervisor from VMware. It allows you to dedicate a machine to running other virtual machines, without a large OS in the way.
virtual machine
a system that enables you to encapsulate all the parts of a computer without reliance on hardware. It's a machine, but isn't installed directly on the hard drive at boot time. This allows you to run different operating systems, versions, etc., at the same time without rebooting.
vm (virtual machine)
a system that enables you to encapsulate all the parts of a computer without reliance on hardware. It's a machine, but isn't installed directly on the hard drive at boot time. This allows you to run different operating systems, versions, etc., at the same time without rebooting.
static analysis
Any form of software analysis that can be done on the code without actually executing the code. Encompasses techniques like pattern-based analysis, metrics, code review, etc.
