Service design. Service design is the activity of planning and organizing people, infrastructure, communication and material components of a service in order to improve its quality and the interaction between service provider and customers.
The purpose of service design methodologies is to design according to the needs of customers or participants, so that the service is user-friendly, competitive and relevant to the customers. The backbone of this process is to understand the behavior of the customers, their needs and motivations. Project management. The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives.
In many cases the objective of project management is also to shape or reform the client's brief to feasibly address the client's objectives. Once the client's objectives are clearly established they should influence all decisions made by other people involved in the project – for example project managers, designers, contractors and sub-contractors.
Ill-defined or too tightly prescribed project management objectives are detrimental to decision making. Testbed. A testbed (also commonly spelled as test bed in research publications) is a platform for experimentation of large development projects.
Testbeds allow for rigorous, transparent, and replicable testing of scientific theories, computational tools, and new technologies. A typical testbed could include software, hardware, and networking components. In software development, the specified hardware and software environment can be set up as a testbed for the application under test[dubious ]. In this context, a testbed is also known as the test environment. Testbeds are also pages on the Internet where the public are given the opportunity to test CSS or HTML they have created and want to preview the results.
