CRC stands for Class Responsibility Collaborator.CRC card modeling is one of the prominent Object Oriented Design Technique. This technique is used in determining the various classes, their functionalities and their collaborations in the software system.

Introduction

Class-Responsibility-Collaboration cards have been first introduced by Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham in their paper "A Laboratory for teaching Object-Oriented Thinking". CRC cards are used to document all the classes and their collaboration with the other classes in the system. This helps us in the process of designing a flawless system. This is also a cheap way of designing a system. Not just one but multiple designers can work together in designing a system using CRC cards modeling technique.
