19. What is framework

20. What is framework I'm talking about a software framework...

21. What is framework A skeleton of an application into which developers plug in their code and provides most of the common functionality . -- E. Gamma, et al., "Design Patterns", Addison-Wesley, 1995

22. What is framework A framework is a set of common and prefabricated software building blocks that programmers can use, extend or customize for specific computing solutions. With frameworks developers do not have to start from scratch each time they write an application. Frameworks are built from collection of objects so both the design and code of the framework may be reused . - JavaFramework. [1]

23. Framework features

24. Framework features Software frameworks have distinguishing features that separate them from libraries or normal user applications. [2]

25. Framework features inversion of control - The overall program's flow of control is not dictated by the caller, but by the framework. [2]

26. Framework features default behavior - A framework has a default behavior. This default behavior must actually be some useful behavior and not a series of no-ops. [2]

27. Framework features extensibility - A framework can be extended by the user usually by selective overriding or specialized by user code providing specific functionality. [2]

28. Framework features non-modifiable framework code - The framework code, in general, is not allowed to be modified. Users can extend the framework, but not modify its code. [2]

29. Why framework

31. It ties together a bunch of discrete objects/components into something more useful. [14]

32. It forces the team (or just me) to implement code in a way that promotes consistent coding, fewer bugs, and more flexible applications. [14]

33. Everyone can easily test and debug the code, even code that they didn't write. [14]
