Software design

process by which an agent creates a specification of a software artifact

In object-oriented programming, SOLID is a mnemonic acronym for five principles intended to make source code more understandable, flexible, and maintainable. Although the principles apply to object-oriented programming, they can also form a core philosophy for methodologies such as agile software development and adaptive software development.

strategies of information processing and ordering of knowledge

computer-programming principle that states that every class in a computer program should have responsibility over a single part of that program's functionality, which it should encapsulate

design of software based on formal, precise and verifiable interface specifications for software components

Agile software development process

In computer science, a compiler-compiler or compiler generator is a programming tool that creates a parser, interpreter, or compiler from some form of formal description of a programming language and machine.

software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, aiming at building, testing, and releasing software with greater speed and frequency

a computer-programming principle that states that software entities (classes, modules, functions, etc.) should be open for extension, but closed for modification

organizing components structures and behaviors for any simple to complex system
