Best Practices for Appian developers
Appian best practices are like a check list, use these checklists at different stages of your development cycle as described to ensure application success and reduce technical risk. Each section provides guidance for when and how often you should use these.
1.Best practices for creating Application :-
1.Application must have UNIQUE and intuitive names.
2.All the objects and the application must have security defined.
3.Create objects from the context of the application that uses it.
4.Remove unused rules, constants or any other objects from application before exporting to other environments.

7.Maintain CDT’s and Data Store as a separate package.
8.Maintain Groups as a separate package.
9.Identify and prepare DDL scripts on need basis.
