A Method for Early Detection of Mismatches between Framework Architecture and Execution Scenarios
Naoya Nitta, Izuru Kume, Yasuhiro Takemura · 2013
Recently, application frameworks are widely used to facilitate software development. However in a real-world application development, potential mismatches between a selected framework and the application's specification often remain undetected until late in the development process. Especially if an architecture level mismatch between them is left unresolved, then enormous implementation level effort to suppress the mismatch and/or modification of the framework's internal implementation would be needed. To avoid the problems, we present a method to detect architectural mismatch between a selected framework and the execution scenarios of the application to develop before its implementation process. In this paper, we have evaluated two 3D game frameworks using our method for a case study, and have identified several problems to implement a certain game application.
