iteroiva

Iteroiva is an adjective used in Finnish technical language to describe processes, systems, or methods that rely on repetition in order to improve results or converge on a solution.

The term derives from the noun iteration (iteraatio) and the adjectival suffix -va, following Finnish patterns for descriptive qualifiers.

In practice, iteroiva approaches appear in software development, product design, research methodologies, and data analysis, emphasizing cycles of planning, testing, and refinement. Feedback from each cycle informs subsequent changes.

In computing and engineering contexts, the concept is closely aligned with the English term iterative and with iterative methods that seek progressive improvement through repeated trials.

Related terms include iteration, iterative design, and feedback loop.
