Business Logic is a non-technical term generally used to describe the functional algorithms which handle information exchange between a database and a user interface. There exists no definition of business logic in any programming language specification or API, nor in any academic research. However, usage of the term persists in trade publications where several individuals have tried to informally advance a meaning that could be standardised. Mostly the term is applied to web application development where programs are separated into a 3-tier architecture with business logic referring to the mid tier. It should be noted that business logic is a poorly-defined term which is used in several different ways by several different groups of people. Information exchange is an informal term that can either refer to bidirectional information transmission/information transfer in telecommunications and computer science or communication seen from a system-theoretic or information-theoretic point of view. ...
In [[computing] , a database can be defined as a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer so that a program can consult it to answer queries. ...
The user interface is the part of a system exposed to users. ...
API may refer to: In computing, application programming interface In petroleum industry, American Petroleum Institute In education, Academic Performance Index This page concerning a three-letter acronym or abbreviation is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...

Scope of business logic
Business logic: - models real life business objects (such as accounts, loans, itineraries, and inventories);
- prescribes how business objects interact with one another; and
- enforces the routes and the methods by which business objects are accessed and updated.
Business logic comprises[1]: For other meanings of this phrase (book and album titles etc. ...
- business rules that express business policy (such as channels, location, logistics, prices, and products); and
- workflows that are the ordered tasks of passing documents or data from one participant (a person or a software system) to another.
Business rules or business rulesets describe the operations, definitions and constraints that apply to an organization in achieving its goals. ...
Workflow at its simplest is the movement of documents and/or tasks through a work process. ...
Location of business logic
Business logic in theory occupies the middle tier of a 3-tier architecture. In single-tier applications, business logic, presentation logic, and CRUD are often fused, with each having intimate knowledge of, or being strongly coupled to, the others. This is seen as problematic, since changes to one result in changes to both of the others, requiring retesting and revalidation of the entire system for a single change. The interweaving also limits the extent to which the CRUD and the business logic can be reused.[2] Image File history File links Overview_of_a_three-tier_application. ...

In computing, CRUD is an acronym for Create, Read, Update, and Delete. ...
In computer science, coupling or dependency is the degree to which each program module relies on each other module. ...
In computer science and software engineering, reusability is the likelihood a segment of structured code can be used again to add new functionalities with slight or no modification. ...
In a multitier architecture, business logic is a separate module. In the common 3-tier architecture, the business logic in theory occupies the middle tier, the business-services tier or business layer. In practice, the business logic is often interwoven in the other two tiers (the user services tier and the database services tier), such as by encoding business logic in stored procedures and in decisions about input validation and display formatting. Hower[3] and others strongly argue against this practice, and advocate storing all business logic in a business layer, and not encoding any business logic in the application's user services or database services tiers. In software engineering, multi-tier architecture (often referred to as n-tier architecture) is a client-server architecture in which an application is executed by more than one distinct software agent. ...

There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...
A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. ...
Tools for handling business logic Business logic can be extracted from procedural code using a business rule management system.[4]
