Software Design Principles

Software Design Principles

A Practical Guide

About the Book

Software design principles are guidelines that help developers to make an object-oriented system design resilient to future changes.

Our original design degrades whenever we introduce new change requirements, and this degradation is because of different factors, for example:

• Poor understanding of object-oriented concepts,

• Mismanagement with the introduction of new dependencies,

• High dependency on volatile documents like SRS - Software Requirements Specification - instead of good comments in the code.

Software design principles provide guidelines to handle the complexity of the design process and prepare our code when changes arise and minimize the impact of introducing bugs.

Following these guidelines make our code more readable and easier to maintain.

  • This book aims to make you a better software designer within the object-oriented paradigm.
