Overview
Pure Fabrication is a design pattern in which objects are created that do not correlate directly to real-world objects. This is generally used to achieve low cohesion and high coupling, as discussed in previous chapters. Although low cohesion and high coupling is an important design principle, fabricating objects that do not exist in the problem domain may lead to problems [1], thus classifying it as an anti-pattern.
Pure Fabrication
Pure Fabrication is a GRASP (General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns) principle.
