fundamental guiding principles for producing high-quality software
- •
- •
core principles
- •
modularity — break the system into smaller, manageable, independently developed components
- •
reusability — design components that can be reused across systems
- •
maintainability — write software that can be easily updated and corrected
- •
scalability — ensure the system can grow to handle increased load or functionality
- •
security — build protections against unauthorized access and data breaches into the design
- •
testing and validation — verify the software meets its requirements and is free of critical defects

Hooker's General Principles
- •
1: The reason it all exists — software must provide value to its users and the organization
- •
2: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) — simplicity leads to reliability and maintainability
- •
3: Maintain the Vision — a clear architectural vision is essential throughout development
- •
4: What you produce, others will consume — design for readability and usability by others
- •
5: Be open to the future — design for change; avoid design decisions that lock you in
- •
6: Plan ahead for reuse — reuse reduces cost and improves quality
- •
7: Think! — apply careful, deliberate thought before and during implementation
