Summary

This chapter covered the importance of framework documentation, the variety of tests that improve stability, and the array of internal tools that establish efficient framework workflows. The investment in good documentation helps both framework authors and framework users. The lack of well-defined documents can be devastating to the framework’s success. Luckily, there are a ton of tools that help simplify the approach to documentation. In the same sense, there are existing tools for testing workflows, covering all aspects of code testing within the framework. Finally, the additional tooling, such as improved source control and editor configurations, makes it much more pleasant to work on the framework and helps authors focus on the framework internals. All of these development support factors play an essential role in framework development and architecture. Learning from other projects and utilizing the patterns that support the development process helps us expand our...
