Under QA InfoTech’s Professional Development Program (PDP) that aims to upskill and reskill its software testing workforce, a training session on the object-oriented programing was conducted by in-house experts, Gaurav Singh Jantwal, Principal Engineer for QA InfoTech’s test engineers under the guidance of Kunal Chauhan, Chief Technical Officer.
A Brief About This Session
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm based on the concepts of objects that are driven by data and methods. It is associated with concepts like inheritance, data binding, polymorphism and many more. OOP concepts help improve code readability and reusability by defining the structure of Java programs leading to high-quality software desired by developers, thus, making it mandatory to master.

Object-oriented programming aims to implement real-world entities, which is split into tiny manageable reusable programs with individual identities, logic and data associated with each small program. As a fundamental part of the software development lifecycle, object-oriented programming has to be included by all software developers.
In the era where the mobile users are expected to reach 4.68 billion and rapidly increasing, the object-oriented programming approach is necessary for developing software for mobile with the pervasiveness of languages like Java and C++. OOP languages like Python and Ruby have developed a fondness for quality web development.
Developers with experience prefer and adapt to object-oriented programming as it allows them to break big problems to smaller issues or sub-problems and then solve these separate units of code. This is similar to functional programming which considers elements as mathematical functions, preventing other elements from getting affected.
The training session emphasised on the five design principles under object-oriented programing, SOLID. Like OOP, SOLID (Single responsibility principle, Open/ close principle, Liskov substitution principle, Interface segregation principle and Dependency inversion principle), which makes software designs more understandable, easier to maintain and extend. Gaurav also covered software architecture which refers to the fundamental structures of a software system and the discipline of creating such structures and systems, concepts of the object-oriented program, a type of computer programming or software design and SOLID principles oops which is a mnemonic acronym for five design principles intended to make software designs more understandable, flexible and maintainable.
OOP reflects the real world behavior of how things work. It is important because
ReplyDeleteIt make visualization easier because it is closest to real world scenarios.
You can reuse the code, this saves time, and shrinks your project.
Once you know the concept, it makes you a cooler coder among your friends ;) .
There are 3 basic features of object oriented programming language:
Inheritance
Polymorphism
Encapsulation
By using these features you can easily reuse your program or part of your program. Object oriented programming provides you a power to do programming in a very effective manner. Learn OOP concept and implement it in your daily programs.
