A previous or antecedent condition; a preliminary condition.
an assertion that must hold prior to the successful execution of the associated function (e.g., use case path, class method). See also invariant and postcondition.
A precondition is something which is true or expected to be true when a program or fragment of a program is called. For example, one would not expect to call a 'divide' function with 0 as the denominator.
a condition that is a prerequisite
put into the required condition beforehand
a condition expected to be observed before the routine starts its execution
a condition expected to occur before a routine starts its execution
a condition that has to hold at given point in the execution of a program, if the execution of the program is to continue correctly
a condition that has to hold true at a certain point in a program, if the execution of the program is to continue correctly from that point
a condition that must be satisfied by the client when invoking a method
a condition that must be true at a certain point in the execution of a program, if that program is to continue without error and give a correct result
a condition that must be true on entry to a member function
a condition that you want to be true at a certain point during the execution of a program, if the program is to continue correctly
a method or document which is executed before the File is viewed or downloaded
a predicate that must hold before a the procedure is invoked
a set of constraints about the session which are introduced in the offer
a set of semantic statements (or expressions represented using the concepts in a semantic model) that are required to be true before an operation can be successfully invoked
a statement that must be true when the function is called
a test to make sure that the client (the code calling this method) has fulfilled its part of the contract
is a clause in logical language selected for describing the state of the environment.
Condition that must be fulfilled before a project can become effective (when disbursement against the loan becomes possible).
Environmental and state conditions which must be fulfilled before the component can be executed with a particular input value.
All outcomes, except the long-term outcome, are also preconditions. They are called preconditions because they are conditions that must exist in order for the next outcome in the pathway to be achieved. You can think of them as precursors because they must be achieved before the next outcome in the pathway, and as requirements for the accomplishment of the next outcome.
A condition that a function requires to be true when it is called.
An constraint that must be true when an operation is invoked.
A constraint that must be true when a use case is invoked.
In logic a precondition is a condition that has to be met before a main argument can have any value.
