I found this thread fascinating, but I didn't see anything in it that would lead me to ever consider implementing such a system. At least not until I read the part about how it could support automated testing. Testing is the biggest expense in developing our enterprise app, and that is mainly because it is almost all done manually via the UI. Step by Step 'button pushing' testing! If even 25% of that work could be automated it would save a lot of money, plus the app would be more stable (and require fewer hot fixes). >What disadvantages are there compared to "Standard" 4D? The effort is likely too great to refactor an existing app. It is probably limited to new apps. Thanks to all who have contributed to the discussion. I will continue to follow it.
