English translation:technical & application "blocks"
Explanation:
A "brique" is often used to denote a "block" of code, i.e. a sequence of program lines to perform a particular task. Depending on the programming language, it may be one or more "sections" or "paragraphs", or, indeed, just a bunch of lines all together!!

"applicatif" is the adjective for "application". Here it probably refers to the code that generates any user interface and/or does the business processing of the data, i.e. it perorms what the application itself "does".

And I think you know all the meanings for "informatique", but here, I think we can assume it refers to the technical nuts and bolts of the program, which are independent, to an extent, of the application itself.

Hence, technical block/section/whatever, and application block.
