mjukvaruinslag
Mjukvaruinslag, a Swedish term roughly translating to "software entanglement" or "software entanglement effect," refers to a complex phenomenon in software development where interconnectedness and dependencies between different software components become so intricate that modifications in one part of the system can lead to unintended and often unpredictable consequences in seemingly unrelated parts. This entanglement can arise from various factors, including shared libraries, global variables, tightly coupled modules, complex architectural designs, or inherited legacy code.
The implications of mjukvaruinslag can be significant. It often leads to increased development time and cost
Addressing mjukvaruinslag typically involves adopting practices that promote modularity, loose coupling, and clear separation of concerns.
