Putting More into Data and Less in Code

What does it mean to put more of our applications into data and putting less in code? Are WCF and WPF early examples of this thinking in which we put more and more of the application in configuration. It would be interesting to learn more about what Microsoft, from their perspective, considers to be an “application”.

Looking forward to the PDC where we’ll definitely get more information about this new declarative programming language code-named, ‘D’. Read more here.

A thought occurred to me as I read your post.

If we put more and more of the application into "cofiguration" then does that minimize the positives to unit testing and make integration testing the only thing that really matters?

Interesting thought. It'll get more important but certainly not the only thing to consider in terms of testing.
