Traditionally evidence configuration has been a development-time activity involving data modeling, code generation and custom code development. Non-dynamic evidence is the term used in the application to describe this approach. With dynamic evidence, evidence definition and maintenance changes from a development-time activity into a runtime, administrative one. By configuring evidence within application administration, agencies are better equipped to respond to changes in legislation which frequently require additional information to be captured in respect of eligibility decisions. The time to implement these changes dynamically results in less development downtime, as making a change to evidence administratively rather than by development eliminates the need for a full development build cycle.
