Packages are the containers for all development work, from models to documentation to code and test (see Figure 7.27). Packages define units of versioning, configuration management, and reuse. 

Wherever business rules are susceptible to change, exploit packages to separate them out. Remember that, in Catalysis, you can always say more about a type, action, and so on in another package separating certain rules makes versioning and configuration management easier.

The focus of the validation program is usually the quality attributes of the system implementation, change control, and the verification and testing of modifications made to the baseline system. The configuration management of the system, including its documentation, is a key area of concern. Specifically, documentation management is extremely critical for the information contained in both the master production records, and in the application.
