MODULARITY
There are many definitions of the term module. Range is from :

i. Fortran subroutine
ii. Ada package
iii. Procedures & functions of PASCAL & C
iv. C++ / Java classes
v. Java packages
vi. Work assignment for an individual programmer
Software Design

All these definitions are correct. A modular


system consist of well defined manageable
units with well defined interfaces among the
units.
Software Design
Properties :
i. Well defined subsystem
ii. Well defined purpose
iii. Can be separately compiled and stored in a
library.
iv. Module can use other modules
v. Module should be easier to use than to build
vi. Simpler from outside than from the inside.
Software Design

Modularity is the single attribute of software that


allows a program to be intellectually manageable.
It enhances design clarity, which in turn eases
implementation, debugging, testing,
documenting, and maintenance of software
product.
