Användningslogik

Användningslogik, often translated as "usage logic" or "application logic," refers to the core business rules and processes that define how a software application functions to meet specific user needs and business requirements. It is distinct from the user interface (UI) and the underlying data storage mechanisms. In essence, användningslogik dictates the "what" and "how" of an application's operations.

This logic encompasses the steps involved in performing tasks, validating data, making decisions based on input, and orchestrating interactions between different parts of the system. For example, in an e-commerce application, the användningslogik would define how a user adds an item to their cart, how the total price is calculated including taxes and shipping, and how the order is processed and confirmed.

Separating användningslogik from other layers of an application, such as the presentation layer (UI) and the data access layer, is a common software design principle. This separation promotes modularity, making the application easier to develop, test, maintain, and update. Changes to the business rules can be made within the användningslogik without necessarily requiring significant alterations to the user interface or database schema, and vice versa. This layered architecture is crucial for building robust and scalable software systems.
