object oriented design (OOD)
subject			fact

object oriented design	follows object oriented analysis
	is a subtopic of 2.2 - Classes and Objects
	is abbreviated as OOD
	is a kind of design
	require an understanding of how objects are physically represented using a particular programming language
	requires an understanding of whether objects are stored in random-access memory or on disk
	requires the skill of organizing classes into inheritance hierarchies
design	determines how components will be implemented in a system
	has goals Increasing profit by reducing cost and increasing revenue Ensuring that we actually conform with the requirements, thus solving the customers' problems Accelerating development, which helps reduce short-term costs, and may also ensure the software reaches the market soon enough to effectively compete Increasing qualities such as usability, efficiency, reliability, maintainability, and reusability which can help reduce costs and also increase revenues
	has part detailed design
	has part modelling
	has part programming
	has part software architecture^2
	has part systems engineering
	has part user interface design
