CA Plex Feature: Patterns and Inheritance

Inheritance is the primary means of reuse when you design an application with CA Plex. Inheriting from pre-built and pre-tested pattern libraries provides tremendous productivity and quality benefits.

Patterns are groups of CA Plex objects that are designed to be reused and customized. In this tutorial, you inherit from the included pattern libraries. Additional pattern libraries are available from third-party vendors.
