Glossary

Attribute : Operation (normally, one-argument), the result of which is stored in its argument and cannot be changed any more.

List : Data structure whose elements are indexed by their position in the list.

Method : Function that will be called for an operation for arguments of the specified type.

Operation : GAP function for which several methods may be available (the particular method that will be used depends on the type of the arguments).

Property : Boolean-valued attribute

Record : Data structure which is a collection of components, each having a unique name, which is an identifier that distinguishes this component, and a value, which is an object of arbitrary type.

Regression testing : Testing based on rerunning previously completed tests to check that new changes do not impact their correctness or worsen their performance.
