Describe the differences between the structured design methodology and the object-oriented design methodology. Why do the principles of

structured design start to break down in today’s software development initiatives?

The structured design methodology is also called the top down method. It is a design methold where you give specific instructions to

the application or program and the program follows the instructions in the order in which they were entered. It does not deviate from

the order in which the program was written.

Object-oriented design is just as it’s name indicates. It is a design method based on objects and classes. In this method, you can

create program designs based on objects. It allows you to create different things within a program like loops, links, menus, etc.

The SD method is mainly for small to medium size applications. It is easier to create and maintain because it’s generally not used for

complex applications or programs. Object-oriented design is used for larger and more complex applications or programs because it has

the ability to adapt to the user and the users intentions.

The reason SD starts to break down in today’s software development is because most programmers need their application to be dynamic.

They need a program that can respond to clicks and to be diverse enough to change depending on the choices of the end user. Having a

program that goes from A to B to C everytime eliminates a lot of opinions for individuals developing applications. Sometimes you may

want your program to go from A to D, and then back to B. With OOD, that is possible.
