CRC Card Tools

Introduction

In software design CRC cards is a way to:

• Discover classes
• Determine the responsibilities of each class
• Describe the relationships among the classes

The information for each class is written on a separate card.

Conclusion

"Because the designs are so much more concrete, and the logical relationship between objects explicit, it is easier to understand, evaluate, and modify a design." [1 Beck/Cunningham]
