Chapter 10. Detailed Design

In the preceding chapters, we've seen how architectural design defines the largest-scale strategic design decisions and that mechanistic design specifies exactly how groups of objects collaborate together. Now it is time to peer inside the objects themselves and learn how to design their internal structure. Detailed design specifies details such as the storage format used for attributes, the implementation of associations, the set of operations the object provides, the selection of internal algorithms, and the specification of exception handling within the object.
