The open-source model is a decentralized development model that encourages open collaboration.

A main principle of open-source software development is peer production, with products such as source code, blueprints, and documentation freely available to the public.

The open-source movement in software began as a response to the limitations of proprietary code.

The model is used for projects such as in open-source appropriate technologies, and open-source drug discovery.

In computing, source code is any collection of computer instructions, possibly with comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as ordinary text.

The source code of a program is specially designed to facilitate the work of computer programmers, who specify the actions to be performed by a computer mostly by writing source code.

The source code is often transformed by an assembler or compiler into binary machine code understood by the computer.

The machine code might then be stored for execution at a later time.

Alternatively, source code may be interpreted and thus immediately executed.

Material Design (codenamed Quantum Paper) is a design language developed in 2014 by Google.

Expanding upon the "card" motifs that debuted in Google Now, Material Design makes more liberal use of grid-based layouts, responsive animations and transitions, padding, and depth effects such as lighting and shadows.

Design–build (or design/build, and abbreviated D–B or D/B accordingly) is a project delivery system used in the construction industry.

It is a method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design–builder or design–build contractor.

In contrast to "design–bid–build" (or "design–tender"), design–build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.

"DB with its single point responsibility carries the clearest contractual remedies for the clients because the DB contractor will be responsible for all of the work on the project, regardless of the nature of the fault".

Usability is the ease of use and learnability of a human-made object such as a tool or device.

In software engineering, usability is the degree to which a software can be used by specified consumers to achieve quantified objectives with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a quantified context of use.
