Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
German term or phrase: Leistung
Was bedeutet "Leistung" in diesem Zusammenhang? Es geht um die Definition des Begriffes "Lastenheft".

Das Lastenheft beschreibt Anforderungen an Funktionen, Leistungen, Schnittstellen und Umgebungsparameter eines zu entwickelnden Produktes für den Aufragnehmer....

Als Zielbeschreibung für die Entwicklung von Systemen und Komponenten wird das Lastenheft verwendet als Basis der Leistungsschnittstellenvereinbarung.

Die technische Produktbeschreibung ist die Dokumentation der zwischen Produktlinie, Fachbereich und den internen sowie externen Auftragnehmern vereinbarten Entwicklungsleistung. Sie dokumentiert einerseits den Entwicklungsgegenstand, andererseits die Durchführung der Entwicklungsleistung durch den Auftragnehmer.

Explanation:
Well, you've got three different uses in your text:

"...Funktionen, *Leistungen*, Schnittstellen..."
Leistungen = performance characteristics

"Leistungsschnittstellenvereinbarung"
Leistung = performance, see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1302730

"Entwicklungsleistung"
Leistung = service or work, e.g. "development service," "development work"

Hope this helps!

Thank you.

agree  Gert Sass (M.A.): Precisely (except maybe that in the very first incidence "performance(s)" might do without adding characteristics, otherwise it would back-translate to "Leistungsmerkmale", IMHO)

agree  Ken Cox: With Gert. 'Leistung' is a real portmanteau word, and it is arguably overused for exactly that reason in this sort of context.
