cas de sortie

Hi,

"Pour résoudre un ou plusieurs des inconvénients cités précédemment, un procédé de sécurisation d’un premier programme, le premier programme comprenant un nombre fini de points de programme et de règles d’évolution associées aux points de programme et définissant le passage d’un point de programme à un autre, comprend :
- définition d’une pluralité de cas de sortie et, lorsque un deuxième programme est utilisé dans la définition du premier programme, pour chaque cas de sortie, définition d’un branchement vers un point de programme particulier du premier programme ou d’une déclaration d’impossibilité du branchement; et"

Your help is highly appreciated :)
Thank you

output event

Maybe?
"pour chaque cas de sortie" = "for each output event"?

Or, if modeling is involved, perhaps the more literal "output case."

After seeing the question for "relations de sufferance," I think this is more likely "output case."

Dang spellcheck! I meant to type (and actually typed) "relations de suffisance," of course.

Hold the phone! I think even better may be:

"exit case."

I think that you'll be able to tell from the overall document.

@ Louisa: So is some sort of modeling involved here? UML or OOM?
Note from asker:
Thanks cc, yes I guessed for "suffisance" :)
exit case is good, great thank you
I think UML could be used here but really not too sure ..

agree DLyons : Didn't notice your "exit case"!

Thank you. (No problem... though you are not alone.)
disagree Daryo : "exit case" yes –but it’s not a synonym - "output case" would mean something totally different - a case when the software starts pouring some kind of output// I can only agree or disagree with "output case"

output case

Somehow "case" feels better than "event".

Thanks Chris.

Merci GILOU.
disagree Daryo : when a piece of software is producing "output" it means usually something being printed / displayed on screen / sent to a file - not the case here// this the description of an algorithm, in programming you "exit" from a loop or a subroutine.

"usually", yes. But not always - as here.

exit condition / exit case

exit (or end-of-loop) condition / case
the ST is about programming;
"cas de sortie" in programming occurs when you have a conditional branching in the execution sequence i.e. a test is performed on the value of some variable and depending of the value found the programme is branching one way or another.
"cas de sortie" is to be found inside a "loop", (il s’agit de "sortir de la boucle") a recurring sequence that would never stop it there wasn't from time to time an "end of loop test" performed to decide whether or not to get out of the loop. Could also be a subroutine, in which case it could only be an “exit”.
If the value of the tested variable indicates it's time to get out of the loop or the subroutine, an exit condition is satisfied / an exit case occurred.
