Why Reworking Can Add Value
The structure of a system plays a crucial role in how easily it can be adapted to meet new requirements in both the short and long term.
While most teams follow the suggestions provided by frameworks and libraries, these conventions are not hard and fast rules. How software is structured can significantly impact our ability to adapt and evolve it, even in the short term.
Unfortunately, many people believe that once the program works, their job is done, and they need to focus on organization and cleanliness.
Instead of reorganizing large classes into smaller, more manageable units with single responsibilities, they move on to the next problem.
To keep software adaptable, it is crucial to keep as many options open as possible. The options that should remain open are those that support the application, while technical details are irrelevant to the business.
Maintaining a separation of concerns in our programming activities is just as important as in our programs.
Reworking in the manufacturing process can increase costs, but reworking can add value to software design. It is essential to distinguish between making software functional, clean, and organized.
Software architecture is crucial in supporting a system throughout its life cycle.
Software architecture helps developers comprehend, develop, maintain, and deploy a system easily. The main objective of software architecture is to decrease the system's overall maintenance costs while also improving the productivity of the developers involved.
