Software Engineering notes-aristocratic authority, democratic politics and System Design

How to obtain conceptual integrity

For a given level of functionality, it is best to use a simple and direct method to specify the System of the event. Simplicity is not enough. Concise and straightforward comes from conceptual integrity. Each part must reflect the consistent balance of the same principle requirements. In terms of syntax, each part should use the same technique and have the same semantics. Therefore, usability requires design consistency and conceptual integrity.

Aristocratic authoritarian system and democratic politics:

Conceptual integrity requires that the design be implemented by one person or a very few people with tacit understanding. However, the progress pressure requires many people to develop systems. There are two ways to solve the conflict. The first is to carefully divide the design methods and specific implementations. The second approach is the "surgeon" team model.

What should the implementer do while waiting:

BlauwIt is pointed out that the whole creative activity includes three independent stages: Architecture(Architecture), Design implementation (Implementation), Physical implementation (Realization). In actual situations, they can often start and run concurrently.
