Understanding the Application Development Life Cycle

The design principles CA 2E uses are applied throughout the life cycle of application development, including all of the tasks required to start, complete, and maintain an application. CA 2E supports a structured, data-driven approach in the application development life cycle.

To help eliminate errors, CA 2E provides a structured notation that can be interpreted accurately.

CA 2E captures and describes application specifications that reflect users’ requirements. After the requirements are represented by the design model and agreed to by the users, the other tasks in the life cycle use this information to ensure the efficient development of the application.
