Abstract

Various issues make framework development harder than regular development. Building product lines and frameworks requires increased coordination and communication between stakeholders and across the organization.

The difficulty of building the right abstractions ranges from understanding the domain models, selecting and evaluating the framework architecture, to designing the right interfaces, and adds to the complexity of a framework project.
