"CRC Card Tools"
Introduction
CRC Cards
CRC Cards are the Class Responsibility Collaboration Cards which are used to interactively brainstorm an initial design of a program or a program segment. These are used as a tool used in the design on object oriented software.<ref name="crc">CRC Cards - Wikipedia</ref> CRC Cards were invented by Kent Back and Ward Cunningham in 1989.<ref name="paper"> Beck, Kent; Cunningham, Ward (October 1989), "A laboratory for teaching object oriented thinking", ACM SIGPLAN Notices (New York, NY, USA: ACM) 24 (10): 1–6, doi:10.1145/74878.74879, ISBN 0-89791-333-7</ref> It supports a rapid and thorough exploration of design alternatives. It is used during initial model construction as a brainstorming technique where it is used to determine which classes are needed and how they will interact among themselves, and again later to evaluate the design. Normally, it could be done by one person or may require up to five people.<ref name="alistair">CRC Cards</ref>
