  • Code Inspection

    (Myers/NBS) A manual (formal0 testing (error detection) technique where the programmer reads source code, statement by statement, to a group who ask questions analyzing the program logic, analyzing the code with respect to a checklist of historically common programming errors, and analyzing its compliance with coding standards. This technique can also be applied to other software and configuration items. Synonym: Fagan Inspection.
  • Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

    The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is a codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The CFR is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. Each title is divided into chapters that usually bear the name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into parts covering specific regulatory areas. Large parts may be subdivided into subparts. All parts are organized in sections, and most citations to the CFR will be provided at the section level.Title 1 – General ProvisionsTitle 2 – (Reserved)Title 3 – The PresidentTitle 4 – AccountsTitle 5 – Administrative PersonnelTitle 6 – (Reserved)Title 7 – AgricultureTitle 8 – Aliens and NationalityTitle 9 – Animals and Animal ProductsTitle 10 – EnergyTitle 11 – Federal ElectionsTitle 12 – Banks and BankingTitle 13 – Business Credit and AssistanceTitle 14 – Aeronautics and SpaceTitle 15 – Commerce and Foreign TradeTitle 16 – Commercial PracticesTitle 17 – Commodity and Securities ExchangesTitle 18 – Conservation of Power and Water ResourcesTitle 19 – Custom DutiesTitle 20 – Employees’ BenefitsTitle 21 – Foods and DrugsTitle 22 – Foreign RelationsTitle 23 – HighwaysTitle 24 – Housing and Urban DevelopmentTitle 25 – IndiansTitle 26 – Internal RevenueTitle 27 – Alcohol, Tobacco Products and FirearmsTitle 28 – Judicial AdministrationTitle 29 – LaborTitle 30 – Mineral ResourcesTitle 31 – Money and Finance: TreasuryTitle 32 – National DefenseTitle 33 – Navigation and Navigable WatersTitle 34 – EducationTitle 35 – Panama CanalTitle 36 – Parks, Forests, and Public PropertyTitle 37 – Patents, Trademarks, and CopyrightsTitle 38 – Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans’ reliefTitle 39 – Postal ServiceTitle 40 – Protection of EnvironmentTitle 41 – Public Contracts and Property ManagementTitle 41 – Public HealthTitle 43 – Public Lands: InteriorTitle 44 – Emergency Management and AssistanceTitle 45 – Public WelfareTitle 46 – ShippingTitle 47 – TelecommunicationTitle 48 – Federal Acquisition Regulations SystemTitle 49 – TransportationTitle 50 – Wildlife and Fisheries
