Re: SUO: Modularity (and conformance)




Frank,

We're talking at cross purposes.  I didn't say major decisions;
I was citing Parnas, who said "difficult decisions".

I never said modularity is the total solution.  It is necessary,
but not sufficient by itself.

Furthermore, you don't begin by assigning arbitrary modules
before you do the design.   The places where you modularize
are determined by the design.

A bad design leads to bad modularity.  A good design shows
how to modularize.
