Development Lifecycle Guide
Developing applications on the Force.com platform is easy, straightforward, and highly productive. A developer can define application components such as custom objects and fields, workflow rules, Visualforce pages, and Apex classes and triggers using the point-and-click tools of the Web interface. Simple changes can be implemented immediately without affecting other users in the production organization. More complex features can be left in development status until they have been fully tested, and then can be deployed so that everyone in the production organization may benefit.
