Choosing the kind of word a word or a phrase that conveys the modification of a certain way?
We have a piece of software that takes client provided data from client supplied data. We process the requested data. A lot of times our client’s data to be tried is either too long or missing altogether. We’re creating a system that will truncate the field value if it’s too long or infer the value if it’s missing. The data may still fail validation but we don’t want the data to fail because it’s too long or missing. They are just plain validation and a ‘Fool about validation’ is not happening. All data should be validated within 30-days. This will be done before anything else is done to that data.
I’m trying to think of a name for the new system that will represent what we’re doing. I don’t want to name it something like “ModifyField” because we modify the data for other reasons as well. What should you do?
By default, I am looking for something to serve as method or class name in the code. I’m looking for
something that can serve as a method or class name.
I have statistical engines that have sort of similar fields. I have different tools that just have different purposes.
I seem that the database world has taken to the word normalize for examples such as yours. Need more data usage?
One term that we use which I guess is more antiquated yet still used and far closer to the truth: standardize (standardization).
Formatted works in some cases. A very specific rule would imply that you have triggered. What does the strategy explain?
Really updating a stats table in our reporting database and forgot we have a sanitize filter running. What are 2 bonus words?
Why not consider the synomyms of measure, such as modify or adapt, as in adjustedField or
AdaptedField.
Can you try to be funny at work? If so, why not try Transmogrifier or Transmogrified.
Which is it, but Transmogrify is a real word I remember it best from the Calvin & Hobbes cartoons
of the 80’s, 1990’s, and 2000’s?
