This section introduces the principles and practices of Component-Based Development (CBD), an approach in which applications are constructed by composing reusable, self-contained components with well-defined interfaces. It explores how CBD supports modularity, maintainability, and scalability in modern software systems.
Cloud Native Component Framework is a component framework that serves as the execution foundation for literate model-driven development. The shortest path to understanding CNCF is to actually run it first. By starting with command execution and proceeding to server, client, and custom components, you can confirm that the internal execution model does not change even when the execution form does.

A executable specification is neither merely a test nor simply TDD that drives implementation. It connects written specifications, analysis and design models, and implementation code, serving as a core artifact through which humans and AI agree—by execution—on what the correct specification is. By placing executable specifications at the center, analysis models become grounded in implementation, and implementation gains semantic justification.

The Semantic Message Flow Diagram is a diagramming method that integrates control flow and data flow using a single flow notation. It represents both system-internal behavior and information propagation with a unified causal line, and can be used for architectural descriptions and extensions of robustness diagrams.
