• An "abstraction" in software design is any element whose outside is smaller than its inside. We introduce abstractions to partition the complexity of the system. Working inside the abstract we can ignore the outside. Working outside the abstraction we can ignore the inside. When we can't ignore in this way, then the design can be improved, often by first making things worse. Kent Beck
