Abstract
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing a software development application that supports development using a top-down approach. The user creates a high-level system design for a system in the top-down design software development application. The user describes a behavior of the system by attaching technology-neutral original system endpoints and respective contracts to a plurality of system components. The user delegates each original system endpoint to a member endpoint of a corresponding technology-specific member component. The user supplies a concrete implementation for each of the corresponding technology-specific member components. Throughout this iterative development process, the high level system design is preserved.
