modularitást
Modularity, known as modularitás in Hungarian, refers to the design principle of composing a system from discrete components called modules. Each module encapsulates a specific function and exposes a well-defined interface, enabling modules to be developed, tested, replaced, or upgraded independently of one another. The aim is to reduce complexity by separating concerns and to improve flexibility, scalability, and maintainability.
Key characteristics include loose coupling between modules, high cohesion within modules, and standardized interfaces or APIs
In software engineering, modularity underpins modular programming, component-based design, and microservices. It supports plug-in architectures where
In hardware and product design, modularity enables customization and repair, as modules can be swapped or upgraded.
Benefits include improved maintainability, easier testing, reuse of modules, and the ability to scale systems by
The Hungarian term modularitás denotes the same concept, and discussions of modularity are widespread across engineering,
