11 11  1. A higher-level, generalized unit of code. Duplication across multiple functions can be resolved by creating an 'abstraction' - a separate function containing the shared code. This adheres to the DRY principle.

13 13  |Assertion|(% style="text-align:justify" %)Pertains to an assertion function, a crucial part of testing. If the input values don't satisfy a certain condition, the test containing the assertion fails. Example: 'assertEquals(expectedResult, actualResult)'.

16 16  |Concretion|(% style="text-align:justify" %)The counterpart to 'abstraction', also known as 'implementation'. In OOP, refers to non-abstract classes that implement the methods of interfaces or abstract classes. A concretion provides the 'concrete' code defining the workings of these abstract functions.

An IoC container, as found in the Spring Framework, is a common tool for implementing this principle.

43 43  |JavaBean|A design convention for data structures. Typically, a class with a public no-argument constructor, private fields, and getter/setter methods for each field. Often followed by DTOs and entities.
44 44  |Module|(% style="text-align:justify" %)A distinct part of a software that encapsulates specific implementation details, such as functions, data structures, classes, interfaces, or even other modules. It exposes a concise API designed to perform specific tasks. These modules are typically crafted for reusability and improved code organization, thereby promoting a modular design.
45 45  |Logic|(% style="text-align:justify" %)Code with non-trivial complexity. For instance, getters and setters have trivial complexity and are usually not considered 'logic'.
