Unbiased language

• Are clear ​
• Are understood by global audiences without need of special or local cultural knowledge ​
• Are not biased racially or reflective of historical racial bias ​
• Avoid offense or a violent tone  ​
• Avoid the presumption of color-coding dichotomies for good and bad with terms like white and black ​
• Avoid references that carry forward the master and slave paradigm. Even the use of master as a term alone is loaded with connection to offensive historical norms of dominance or enslavement and should be avoided.

Refers to methods of software testing. In black box testing, the internal structure, program, or code is hidden from the tester. Black box testing focuses on the behavior of the software. In white box testing, the tester has knowledge about or can view the internal structure, code, or program they are testing. White box testing checks a system’s internal operation or functionality. ​

The testing teams divided themselves into two groups to perform 1) behavioral testing, in which they run tests by using input commands and verifying expected outcomes, and 2) transparent box testing, where the internal design is known, to check the quality of the code. ​

Hackers who use their skills to harm or damage computer systems are called black hat hackers. White hat hackers, on the other hand, use their skills to perform valuable testing. Ethical hacking can identify vulnerabilities in a computer system and is often incentivized by companies wanting to strengthen their security postures. Gray hat hackers are not malicious but neither have they gotten explicit permission from companies to break into their systems.

Artificial intelligence is gaining ground in cybersecurity battles between malicious actors and the security forces trying to keep up.

In computing, a blacklist is a list of entities that are denied access to a site, computer, network, or server for security purposes. In contrast, a whitelist is a list of items that are allowed access.

The administrator creates an allow list and a block list of client IP addresses in the security policy section of the management console.

Referring to automation technologies or algorithms being resistant to failure (because of error handling or self-healing) and/or protected against threats.

Companies are tapping artificial intelligence to automate the care of their operations and information-technology infrastructure, finding that AI can identify and fix problems more quickly than humans. Called “self-healing” or “self-driving” IT, the innovation has been made possible by advanced algorithms, more data about networks and IT infrastructure, and increased computing power. —Wall Street Journal, July 2019

Referring to the initiation or running of a process, macro, query, or program. ​

Commands are run in the order in which they’re listed in the file.

Referring to being exempt from new policies or regulations. It’s based on a “grandfather clause” adopted by seven Southern states in the U.S. during the Reconstruction Era, which was used to exclude African Americans from voting by requiring literacy tests and other barrier criteria from which whites were exempt.  ​

Current investors will be exempt from the new policy so that the previous (old) rules will continue to apply to their accounts. The new policy will apply only to new customer accounts.​

Used to describe what happens when an application or operating system stops responding. ​

If your computer stops responding, you may have to restart it.

Referring to stopping a running process or system. ​

The administrator uses a script file to stop several processes before applying this type of update. 

An electronic interaction in which one device acts as the controller and initiates commands to which other devices respond or depend.

In computer science, the primary/secondary architecture initially started in the context of database replication. One instance of the data is assigned the role of primary. Secondary data instances are replicas for the purposes of managing sync activities.
