Episode notes
Modularization Benefits Depend On Criteria
- Proper modularization improves flexibility, comprehensibility, and development speed.
- The way a system is divided into modules greatly affects these benefits.
Functional Decomposition Limits
- Functional decomposition divides modules by processing steps but misses design decision encapsulation.
- This method often leads to modules tightly coupled to volatile decisions across the project.
Isolate Change Prone Decisions
- Isolating volatile design decisions into single modules confines change impacts.
- This isolation prevents widespread code changes across modules when design decisions evolve.
