An application framework is a set of interdependent, reusable base classes that form the basis for an application. Using the frame works has lot of advantages, such as:
 |
Cuts costs and the development time |
|
Improves the quality, since they are pre-tested |
|
You can concentrate on the business/application logic |
|
Improves the consistency in the application, such as: |
|
Naming conventions |
|
Coding standards |
|
User interface |
At the same time, it has few disadvantages too:
|
More overhead might involve in the class hierarchy |
|
Developers must learn before they start using it |
|
Steep learning curve |
