Application Development Framework

The Application Development Framework (ADF) is derived from the Zachman Enterprise Framework. It shows the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the Database Development Life Cycle (DDLC) methodologies. The ADF shows the methodologies as parallel to each other and shows how the two methodologies interact.

The DDLC is used to produce the databases required by the business for automating the business record keeping. The DDLC identifies the tasks used to document the requirements, analyze and design the enterprise logical data model (ELDM). The database implementation phases identify the tasks, inputs and outputs necessary for each step in creating a database.
