1. | |
Simplicity-the design must be simple, both in implementation and interface. If it is impossible to achieve both, some combination of the problem, requirements, and tools must be re-thought. | |
2. | |
Correctness-the design must be correct in all observable aspects. If correctness is impossible to achieve, correctness, and therefore requirements, must be re-thought. | |
3. | |
Consistency-the design must not be inconsistent. Consistency is as important as correctness and simplicity. | |
4. | |
Completeness-the design must cover as many important situations as is practical. All reasonably expected cases must be covered. Consistency, simplicity, and correctness take precident over maximum completeness. If achieving a reasonable and usable level of completeness is impossible, again; tools, requirements, interface, implementation, and the problem must be rethought. |
