- API
- API compatibility MUST be maintained between minor releases. Do not remove existing methods or change their signatures, deprecate them instead
- Default behaviour SHOULD NOT be changed between minor releases, unless absolutely needed. If change is made, it MUST be described in "Migration Guide" [2]
- New operation MUST be well-documented in code (javadoc, dotnetdoc): documentation must contain method's purpose, description of parameters and how their values affect the outcome, description of return value and it's default, behavior in negative cases, interaction with other operations and components
- API parity between Java and .NET platforms SHOULD be maintained when operation makes sense on both platforms. If method cannot be implemented in a platform immediately, new JIRA ticket MUST be created and linked to current ticket

- All exceptions thrown to a user SHOULD have explanation how to resolve, workaround or debug an error
- Compatibility
- Persistence backward compatibility MUST be maintained between minor releases. It should be possible to start newer version on data files created by the previous version
- Thin client forward and backward compatibility SHOULD be maintained between two consecutive minor releases. If compatibility cannot be maintained it MUST be described in "Migration Guide" [2]
- JDBC and ODBC forward and backward compatibility SHOULD be maintained between two consecutive minor releases. If compatibility cannot be maintained it MUST be described in "Migration Guide" [2]
