Standards for Shared Objects

Standard naming conventions can also be used to communicate the purpose or status of a shared object. By having a naming convention, an object list search is quicker and more likely to succeed. A common reason for object searches is to locate an action diagram or exit states to include in new code. In addition to a naming convention for shared objects, a good description further indicates whether the object is suitable for the developer. Good in-line comments communicate how the action block should be implemented.
