| Reference: black-boxing (vt/vi) as a process/phenomenon Reference information: When a process, device or machine (physical or virtual, such as a software object, aka "class") becomes taken for granted, and its inner workings are no longer questioned, it is said to be treated as a "black box". As a technique, "black-boxing" is important in software engineering, and no doubt other fields too. http://liftlab.com/think/nova/2009/04/01/definition-of-black... "4.4 Question reformulation and 'black-boxing' " -- Science as a Question Process, http://is.gd/4jsle "Although error checking isn't complex, hiding it within the class allows the programmer to forget how the class works and merely rely on the fact that it does. This is often referred to as black boxing. Another usefulness of black boxing is that a complex task can overwhelm even the best of programmers." -- http://is.gd/4jsGu -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-10-14 16:50:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- hmmm ... more I don't think about it, more plausible it seems ... at you suggestion, I have entered it as an answer |
