Abstract

Software engineers are increasingly relying on object-oriented (OO) technology to develop adaptable software systems. However, the use of OO does not guarantee adaptability. Designers need to engineer adaptability into the software, even with OO. They should also consider the different factors that software systems require to be adaptable, namely, extensibility, flexibility, performance tunability and fixability.
