Allows the framework to have full control over the sequence of processing laying a strong foundation for work-flow processing

Make sures that the calling objects takes the responsibility of flow control

Guarantee the security

Concerns about where it executes as it requires a handle on all the inputs and contexts it requires

Frameworks, despite sometimes being complex if taken as a whole, bring simplicity to development by decomposing the problem space into separate elements

Upgrade to frameworks will have negative impacts to the application development as they are generally not backward compatible

The structure and design patterns provided by a framework ensure that your project is being built on solid ground, and help avoid these issues before they can occur

Frameworks can provide security features which are often required for a common class of applications

Application server

Powerful tool box

Development environment

Finished application

An abstraction in which common code providing generic functionality can be selectively overridden or specialized by user code, thus providing specific functionality

A special case of software libraries in that they are reusable abstractions of code wrapped in a well-defined Application Programming Interface

A collection of resources to generate the code to achieve a generic functionality

A template to show how things should be done consistently

When the application already exists and requires maintenance

Number of applications are required to be developed within a specific problem domain

Applications that use the common services provided by frameworks

None of the above

Compilers for different programming languages and target machines

Decision support systems

Web applications

Middleware

Library will have a default behaviour whereas frameworks will not have a default behaviour

Library can be extended easily whereas extending framework is complex and resource consuming

Library code, in general, is not allowed to be modified

The program's flow of control is dictated by the framework

Frameworks often require a significant education to use efficiently and correctly

Frameworks cause performance impacts to applications as it checks for various scenarios to determine a path of action

Bugs and security issues in a framework can affect every application using that framework

Functionality which needs to bypass or work around deficiencies in a framework can cause more programming issues than developing the full functionality in the first place
