RE: term need: regarding software development

["Flood, Donna" <DFlood -at- eoriginal -dot- com>]

Extensible is the term I would use.

In information technology, extensible describes something, such as a program, programming language, or protocol, that is designed so that users (or later designers) can extend its capabilities. Extensibility can be a primary reason for the system, as in the case of the Extensible Markup Language (XML <http://searchWebServices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci213404,00.html> ), or it may be only a minor feature.

Subject: term need: regarding software development




   We are having trouble coming to agreement on the correct term to describe
   software & Help systems that are built with future expansion in mind. That
   is, software that is NOT built for one-time release but that is built to
   allow for any modification, enhancements, & future developments without
   requiring the need for an entirely new architecture and core.

   Current term in use: Extensible (this beat out expandable and agile)

   I feel there is a specific term for this, but I just cannot think of
   it...anyone have it?

   Thanks in advance!
