In the context of this Model, a Developer
designs a solution Component or Dialog or Interface,
builds a solution Component and/or Dialog and/or Interface,
tests a solution Component and/or Dialog and/or Interface,
serves as an official Source of development Estimates.
There are potentially several kinds of developers. They generally develop (or guide, or manage the development of) software solutions. Sometimes their responsibilities (and thus their interests) are combined in a single person or role within an organization. The following table lists representative solution developers, their Interests, and related quality Concerns.
| Developers | Interests | Concerns |
| Component Developers | Usage, Knowledge, Behavior, Quality, Priority | Fitness, Simplicity, Flexibility, Adaptability, Modularity, Coverage, Completeness, Compatibility, Measurability, Efficiency |
| Component Designers | Usage, Knowledge, Behavior, Quality, Priority | Fitness, Simplicity, Flexibility, Adaptability, Modularity, Compatibility, Measurability, Efficiency |
| Interface Designers | Usage, Knowledge, Behavior, Quality, Priority | Intelligibility, Functionality, Usability, Sufficiency, Affordability, Efficiency |
| QA Engineers | Usage, Knowledge, Behavior, Quality, Priority | Sufficiency, Coverage, Completeness, Intelligibility, Alignment |
| Requirements Engineers | Needs, Usage, Knowledge, Behavior, Quality, Priority | Intelligibility, Sufficiency, Coverage, Completeness, Alignment |
| Solution Architects | Large-Scale Structures, Standards, Conventions, Compliance | Fitness, Flexibility, Adaptability, Modularity, Compatibility, Measurability, Scalability, Reliability, Availability, Efficiency |
| Project Managers | Priority, Schedules, Budgets, Resources, Knowledge | Feasibility, Availability, Scalability, Measurability, Affordability, Speed, Efficiency |
