While i was reading through a paper, to understand the application life cycle i have come across how the technology development focus has changed. I see we have been doing the development almost the way the Today’s software are visualized, designed.
| Yesterday’s technologies, teams, applications | Today’s technologies, teams, applications |
| Designed to last | Designed to change |
| Tightly coupled | Loosely coupled, modular |
| Integrated silos | Compositions (of services, of applications) |
| Code-oriented | Process-oriented |
| Rigid sequential development | Interactive and iterative development |
| Cost-centered | Business-oriented |
| Homogeneous | Heterogeneous |
The above tabular representation describes the direction development is moving towards. Features/Dashboards of a website are visualized to be plug-in, that works more by enable/disable methodology. Layers of a framework are designed to interact collectively or provide a service independently.
