Workplace Scenario
The purpose of this assignment is to introduce the five GRASP patterns or principles: Creator, Information Expert, Controller, Low Coupling, and High Cohesion. GRASP stands for General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns or Principles.
The author of or text book states that a pattern is a named and well-known problem/solution pair that can be applied in new contexts, with advice on how to apply it in novel situations and discussion of its trade-offs, implementations, and variations. So a pattern is not a new idea. Rather, it is a tried-and-true principle. A knowledge of patterns can help you in your future software design endeavors. To quote the author, “The critical design tool for software development is a mind well educated in design principles.”
In this memo to your supervisor you will summarize several design principles and patterns and you will explain an example of a time that you employed one of the patterns.
