Keys to Success in Using Designing for Change

Here are the keys to success in designing for change:

  • Identify the most likely changes.

  • Use information hiding to insulate the system from the effects of the most likely changes.

  • Define families of programs rather than considering only one program at a time.

  • Don't count on the mere use of an object-oriented programming language to do the design job automatically.
