4. Design constraints


  • The design constraints are:

    • the abstract nature of software

    • techniques that work for small projects do not necessarily scale to medium and large projects.

  • The design discussions can be formulated in terms of analogies rather than in terms of code examples.

    • Please remember that proof by analogy is fraud... :-)

    • ...that is why software design is an iterative process.
