Abstract
Software development is a complex task. Abstraction is one means used for reducing the complexity involved in software product development. One way by which abstraction is expressed is by removing details in order to simplify and capture a concept, finding a common denominator for generalizationgeneralization. Though abstraction is a useful tool, it is not always used; sometimes it is just difficult to think abstractly, and sometimes abstraction is not utilized due to a lack of awareness of its significance and its potential contribution. This chapter describes how abstraction is expressed in agile software development environments. Specifically, software designsoftware design and architecturearchitecture are abstractions used in this chapter to discuss the concepts of simple design and refactoringrefactoring. In addition, we revisit subjects that have been introduced in earlier chapters of the book and analyze them from the perspective of abstraction.
