Proof of concept (PoC) is a realization of a certain method or idea in order to demonstrate its feasibility,[1] or a demonstration in principle with the aim of verifying that some concept or theory has practical potential.[citation needed] A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be complete.
The following are guidelines for a POC:
- Every POC has a named sponsor for the feature whom acts as spokesperson at all checkpoints/meetings
- POC (only) related defects cannot block the release
- POC development that includes entry points in the release version must comply with license scans and vulnerability fixes
- A POC should not introduce a back-door to the stable features
- POC features that are visible/accessible in the final product should be documented with limitations and POC status stated
- A use case POC using common code, does not change the treatment of the common code with regards to completeness, S3P, documentation and other common code expectations
