Question
When should a Java developer choose Design Patterns and SOLID deliberately?
- Choose Design Patterns and SOLID mainly when you want to postpone validation and fix problems manually later.
- Choose Design Patterns and SOLID whenever you want the code to look more advanced, even if the design gets less clear.
- Choose Design Patterns and SOLID only to avoid modeling domain rules explicitly in Java code.
- Use a pattern when it clarifies a recurring design problem and reduces coupling for the specific codebase.
Hint
Think about the production scenario where the choice genuinely improves the code.
Answer and rationale
Correct answer: D. Use a pattern when it clarifies a recurring design problem and reduces coupling for the specific codebase.
Use a pattern when it clarifies a recurring design problem and reduces coupling for the specific codebase. Interviewers often ask this to see whether you can connect the concept to real design decisions.
