SOLID (object-oriented design)

In computer programming, the term SOLID is a mnemonic acronym for five design principles intended to make software designs more understandable, flexible and maintainable. The principles are a subset of many principles promoted by Robert C. Martin, [1][2][3]. Though they apply to any object-oriented design, the SOLID principles can also form a core philosophy for methodologies such as agile development or Adaptive Software Development.[3] The SOLID acronym was introduced by Michael Feathers.

Overview

Initial Stands for
Concept
S SRP[4]
Single responsibility principle
a class should have only a single responsibility (i.e. only one potential change in the software's specification should be able to affect the specification of the class)
O OCP[5]
Open/closed principle
“software entities … should be open for extension, but closed for modification.” ..
L LSP[6]
Liskov substitution principle
“objects in a program should be replaceable with instances of their subtypes without altering the correctness of that program.” See also design by contract.
I ISP[7]
Interface segregation principle
“many client-specific interfaces are better than one general-purpose interface.”[8]
D DIP[9]
Dependency inversion principle
one should “depend upon abstractions, [not] concretions.”[8]
