Development Management Specifications: A New Approach in Software Architecture

The approach, which is common for many years in the software development world, is coding through detailed specifications. But Ensemble project offers a philosophy that reverses this traditional method. Development-driven specs concept suggests that the code is born from its own—a more consistent result is achieved with real world needs.

The main advantages of this methodology are:

  • Specs from actual coding experience can be applied more than theoretical plans
  • Development team can detect physical limitations and practical challenges early
  • A more flexible and adaptable structure is formed against changing requirements
  • Synchronizing problems between Spec and code are minimized
  • Team motivation increases; encoded engineers see the value of their work

Open source projects like ensemble, this alternative approach serves a laboratory for curious developers. Small teams and projects at the start stage can benefit from this method. The project is presented to review by the committee on GitHub.

The essence of the business: the only fit for the software architecture has no solution. Ensemble starts thinking new with the idea that perhaps code can be a guide.
