Continuing with the foregoing example, if there is a change to the report compilation process, there is a greater danger that the printing code will break if it is part of the same class. The reason it is important to keep a class focused on a single concern is that it makes the class more robust. It would be a bad design to couple two things that change for different reasons at different times. This helps clarify what security and privacy. The single-responsibility principle says that these two aspects of the problem are really two separate responsibilities, and should, therefore, be in separate classes or modules. Its important to look ahead and consider the organisations long-term goals for virtual health expansion. These two things change for different causes. Second, the format of the report could change. First, the content of the report could change. Imagine such a module can be changed for two reasons. rewritten).Īs an example, consider a module that compiles and prints a report. Martin defines a responsibility as a reason to change, and concludes that a class or module should have one, and only one, reason to be changed (e.g. In 2014 Martin published a blog post titled "The Single Responsibility Principle" with a goal to clarify what was meant by the phrase "reason for change." Martin described it as being based on the principle of cohesion, as described by Tom DeMarco in his book Structured Analysis and System Specification, and Meilir Page-Jones in The Practical Guide to Structured Systems Design. Martin in his article "The Principles of OOD" as part of his Principles of Object Oriented Design, made popular by his 2003 book Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices.
