| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Controlled iterative development | Smaller increments of change can be edited, built, tested and deployed | Reduces risk, improves time-to-market |
| Object-oriented technology | Environment supports notion of encapsulating information, and restricting access and manipulation to only meaningful operations | Simplifies communication about real-world constructs. Improves reliability of accessing and changing data. |
| Architecture-based design | Includes facilities for creating software structures (subsystems) larger than that provided by the programming language itself | Fosters large-scale software reuse. Creates software that is adaptable in response to changing operational conditions. |
| Iterative testing throughout the development lifecycle | Testing tools provided directly within development environment allow for frequent developer-led testing | Bugs are found sooner, corrected more cost-efficiently |
| Integrated development environment | All tools needed for the developer are organized as integral parts of the development environment | Less switching between multiple disparate tools |
| Integrated configuration management | CM commands and facilities built into development environment | Manages parallel development simply and without high overhead. CM system more transparent to developers, less intrusive to work activities. |
| Architectural control | Manages dependencies between source files at a level higher than that provided by the programming language itself | Maintains architectural integrity of application amidst changes. New features are introduced with less side-effects. |
