Development Cycle
As envisioned by Simonyi, developing a new application via the Intentional Programming paradigm proceeds as follows. A programmer first builds a toolbox specific to a given problem domain (such as life insurance). Domain experts, aided by the programmer, then describe the application's intended behavior in a WYSIWYG-like manner. Finally, an automated system uses the program description and the toolbox to generate the final program. Successive changes are done at the WYSIWYG level only, employing a system called the "domain workbench".
