Abstract

Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for controlling the development of a software application. The system includes an event channel for receiving at least one event that indicates an action performed by one of a plurality of existing development tools used in the development of the software application, a policy-based event engine for evaluating the at least one event and for initiating at least one action of one of the plurality of existing development tools in accordance with at least one policy, and a repository, for storing at least one artifact to define an architecture of the software application. The at least one artifact corresponds to a component of the software application and/or to a dependency between a first component and a second component of the software application.
