What does "feasibility" mean in programming?
feasibility is one of the most common terms in software development. This guide explains what it means, how it is used in practice, and why it matters, with real examples from the developer world.
Definition
An assessment of whether a proposed feature or solution is technically and practically achievable within the given constraints of time, budget, and team capability. Teams check feasibility before committing to a design or sprint.
Example
"After the feasibility check, we realised the real-time feature would require a WebSocket infrastructure we didn't have."
