Software Design/Split responsibilities between classes and functions

Checklist questions:

  • Does a class have a single responsibility?
    • A business logic area
    • An external integration (database, service, API)
    • A domain data object, a builder, or a configuration class for another class
    • An aspect of the program's control flow or data flow, such as an active object, or an object integrating other objects
  • Does a function have a single responsiblity?
    • A single business logic operation
    • A single kind of external operation (e. g. a specific API call or a database operation)
    • An aspect of program's control flow, or a function integration other functions (including higher-order functions)
  • If a function has more than three (3) parameters, couldn't its responsibilities be split between multiple functions?

This practice corresponds to the Single Responsibility Principle, applied on the level of classes.
