OOD ==>
object-oriented design
<programming> (OOD) A design method in which a system is modelled as a
collection of cooperating objects and individual objects are treated as
instances of a class within a class hierarchy. Four stages can be identified:
identify the classes and objects, identify their semantics, identify their
relationships and specify class and object interfaces and implementation.
Object-oriented design is one of the stages of object-oriented programming.
