We propose to integrate the development of component-based simulation codes for computational sciences and engineering (CSE), the manufacturing of problem solving environments, and the experimentation in one toolkit in one place. Such a tool can cover the whole application lifecycle in advanced computing from the software design and development over simulation to data postprocessing and exploration. Our prototypical realisation based upon a simplified version of the Common Component Architecture shows that such a holistic approach's impact on the software development process is multifaceted: It simplifies and accelerates the traditional code development due to synergies of software engineering tools well-established in mainstream computing with scientific computing characteristics. It helps to make the CSE software development more agile due to the support of continuous integration and the bridging of different simulation activities. It finally fosters and stimulates to add features such as distributed simulation or computational steering facilities into simulation codes without a significant overhead. All these ingredients help to overcome the CSE software crisis becoming oppressing due to increasing hardware and software complexity as well as increasing functional complexity, requirements, and needs.      «
