The development of Business and Social Computing applications is a challenging task due to the fluidity of requirements. Often requirements evolve throughout the development process. Systems need to meet the needs of multiple user groups, sometimes with conflicting requirements. Thus the best option is to involve the users in the development process at a level they can participate as developers to benefit from their in-depth application domain knowledge. The Meta design paradigm is one of the best approaches for this. With the CBEADS (Component Based E Application Development and Deployment Shell) framework the applications can design in a few clicks, by specifying the application name, and then the functionalities. they have via use-cases, Each use case consists of main functions that which user can perform such as view, create, update, and delete. So the users have the freedom to build things from scratch easily. So the API endpoints will be ready to test the system. This Would help to identify the basic requirements. The newly designed application can be used easily as a prototype system too. Nowadays software development happens as rapid development. So the CBEADS framework is capable of bridging the gap for identification of clear requirements from the users and saving time by increasing the productivity of the developers.
