- structure, from an object-oriented perspective, large programs so that they become easier to understand and manage
- design and document public APIs with a clear responsibility
- design entities so that they become testable and write tests for them
- protect the internal design from the public APIs
- develop a program in collaboration with other developers
- review and reflect on program code
- develop given program code
in order to
- understand and master the parameters within software development that make program code sustainable, re-usable flexible to change of requirements.
