Software Design

What is design?¶

• Design of software is [[source code]] itself

• [[Architecture]] is the shape which code takes

• The [[source code]] specifies how software works

• Final product is a running program

Building Software¶

• Big design upfront is very expensive in [[software development]]
• No guarantee that we take into account all the possible [[requirements]]
• Requirements tent to change very quickly
• Keep the design as clean as you can

There can be multiple Design smells, you can deal with them using SOLID Principles.
