POCt

POCt refers to a proof of concept (PoC) test. A proof of concept is a small project or exercise intended to demonstrate the feasibility of a concept, idea, or theory. The primary goal of a PoC test is to determine if a proposed solution, technology, or approach can actually work as intended in a real-world or simulated environment. It is not meant to be a fully developed product or a production-ready system, but rather a focused investigation to answer specific questions about viability.

POCt activities typically involve building a minimal version of the solution or simulating its core functionalities. The scope is usually limited, focusing on the most critical or uncertain aspects. The results of a POCt help stakeholders make informed decisions about whether to proceed with further development, investment, or adoption of the concept. It helps to mitigate risks by identifying potential challenges or limitations early on, before significant resources are committed. Common areas where POCt are employed include software development, technology adoption, business process innovation, and scientific research. The outcome of a POCt can range from a successful validation of the concept to the identification of significant roadblocks that necessitate a change in approach or abandonment of the idea.
