- | The basic idea of using principles as described and examined in this thesis | + | The basic idea of using principles as described and examined in this wiki is to use them for making design decisions and to judge whether one solution to a problem is better than another one in a certain context. The claim is that it is possible to describe all relevant aspects of a given design problem using a characterizing set of principles. |
The principles tell which aspects to consider while making the decision. One principle might focus on the advantages of simplicity, another one might be about generality and a third one considers effects of inheritance. These principles are usually conflicting which results in the need for a trade-off. For example a solution typically cannot be likewise simple and generic. If it is generic, it is not simple anymore and vice versa. So the [[glossary: | The principles tell which aspects to consider while making the decision.
