Is the use of a framework essential to implement the requested functionalities?

Precisions

The alternatives between solutions developed in-house and the use of frameworks must take into account Responsible Digital aspects. The frameworks provide more functionalities than necessary for the project and integrate components and dependencies to fulfill the totality of the offered functionalities. The relationship between the functionalities provided by the framework and those actually sought is critical. The choice of the framework must also make it possible to restrict its functional scope to only the elements essential for the service.

Use Case

Technical documentation assess impacts of frameworks & libraries used, and upgrades in sust. IT perspective

Additional elements

Operational issues related to the project

Advice

Life cycle

Does the use of the service exclude certain software or hardware configurations ?

Advice

Software Design Sustainable IT

Does the use of the service make it possible to envisage software or hardware configurations that have less impact on the environment ?

Recommendation
