Application parameter

An application parameter is a software variable containing data that can be changed at the system or software levels; they influence the system’s or software behavior and properties. The notion of application parameter is expressed in two ways:

· The specification (including variable names, the domain value range, technical data types, default values, physical unit (if applicable), the corresponding memory maps, respectively).

· The actual quantitative data value it receives by means of data application.

Application parameters are not requirements. They are a technical implementation solution for configurability-oriented requirements.
