How about no mandate for reuse, framework API quality, etc. etc.?

Often it isn’t until much later that an unexpected bug is discovered as a result of a change. Our modeling tools have tight integration into the actual code of the application. This means that a developer or architect can use models to explore existing code assets. read more...
