Allow an application to equally be driven by users, programs, automated test or batch scripts, and to be developed and tested in isolation from its eventual run-time devices and databases.

• When the application needs to be independent of any frameworks
• When it is important that the application highly maintainable and fully testable

• Build Maintainable Systems With Hexagonal Architecture
