  Cleanroom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cleanroom is an environment, typically used in manufacturing or scientific research, that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors.
The air entering a cleanroom from outside is filtered to exclude dust, and the air inside is constantly recirculated through high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and ultra low penetration air (ULPA) filters to remove internally generated contaminants.
Cleanroom HVAC systems often control the humidity to low levels, such that extra precautions are necessary to prevent electrostatic discharges.

 Cleanroom Software Engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cleanroom process was originally developed by Harlan Mills and several of his colleagues at IBM
The name Cleanroom was chosen to evoke the cleanrooms used in the electronics industry to prevent the introduction of defects during the fabrication of integrated circuits.
Cleanroom development uses an iterative approach, in which the product is developed in increments that gradually increase the implemented functionality.

 JPL.NASA.GOV: Feature Stories
The default cleanroom settings are determined by the project with the most stringent cleanliness requirements.
Since micron-sized particles are not visible to the human eye, cleanroom employees rely on highly sensitive particle counters that give a constant readout to maintain an acceptable cleanliness level.
In order to assure that dirty air doesn't enter the cleanroom when external doors are opened, a positive airflow is continuously in effect that pushes on the external air so it cannot enter.

 What is a Cleanroom?
A "cleanroom" is essentially a controlled environment in which the levels of particulate, microbes, and contamination of all kinds are reduced.
Frequently this is accomplished by continuously "flushing" the cleanroom with highly filtered air that is forced in through High Efficiency Particulate air (HEPA) filters.
Certifications can be performed when cleanrooms are empty, or with people in the room simulating actual working conditions, at the HEPA filter face, or somewhere downstream.

More accurately, a clean room has a controlled level of contamination that is specified either by the amount of particles per meter-cubed (ppm) and by maximum particle size.
By analogy with cleanrooms in semiconductor fabrication which prevent the need for cleaning silicon wafers by making sure that they never get dirty, Cleanroom development removes the need for debugging by ensuring that bugs never get introduced.
