implementovania

Implementovania is a coined term used in some software development communities to describe the process of turning requirements and design into working software. It emphasizes the hands-on execution aspects of building, integrating, testing, and refining code, rather than high-level planning or architectural design alone. The term is not standardized or widely recognized in formal software engineering literature, but it appears in discussions and guidance within certain teams or regional groups.

Etymology and usage context

The word combines the verb form of implement with a Slavic-sounding suffix that evokes ongoing activity, signaling a focus on active deployment and realization. In practice, implementovania is often invoked to distinguish the implementation phase from preceding activities such as requirements analysis, system design, or user experience research. It aligns with agile and lean thinking by underscoring incremental delivery and tangible outcomes.

Practices and scope

In contexts that use the term, implementovania usually encompasses coding, unit and integration testing, debugging, and early user feedback loops. Common practices associated with it include clear acceptance criteria, version control, automated tests, continuous integration, peer code reviews, and documentation of interfaces and APIs. It is generally viewed as the execution corridor within the broader software development lifecycle.

Criticism and adoption

Critics argue that the term can create confusion with the standard “implementation” phase or appear as linguistic novelty without adding precision. Its usage tends to be localized to specific teams, regions, or communities and is not part of formal standards or widespread industry terminology.
