Separation of Concerns SoC

Design Principle

Core Concept:

SoC is a design principle that advocates for dividing a computer program into distinct sections, each addressing a separate concern. This aims to improve modularity, maintainability, and reusability.

Each component should focus on its Single Responsibility Principle.

Benefits of Applying:

  • Improved Maintainability: Changes to the hardware or application logic can be made independently without affecting other parts of the system.
  • Increased Reusability: Application code can be reused across different hardware platforms with minimal modifications.
  • Enhanced Portability: abstraction layer allows for greater portability of application code.
  • Simplified Development: Developers can focus on their specific area of expertise (application logic or hardware integration).
  • Reduced Complexity: Breaking down the system into distinct concerns makes it easier to understand and manage.
  • Faster Debugging: Isolating concerns simplifies the debugging process, as issues can be traced to specific modules.

By adhering to the principles of SoC, you can create more robust, maintainable, and portable applications.
