AI-native development with an ADF
Integrating generative AI with ADFs
An ADF is fundamentally a tool for imposing structure and discipline upon the software development process. Its primary purpose is to enhance an engineering organization’s productivity and performance by providing a standardized, simplified, and structured approach to common engineering operations. By dictating execution flow and enforcing specific architectural patterns, an ADF provides a blueprint that promotes long-term software health attributes such as maintainability, testability, and reusability. This blueprint establishes a clear contract between the “framework developer,” who designs the system’s core components and control flows, and the “application developer,” who builds features within those established constraints. The value of an ADF is therefore directly proportional to the degree to which this contract is respected.
