What Is the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)?

The Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) is a fundamental concept in software design that states each class or module should have only one responsibility or reason to change. This principle helps maintain code quality by reducing complexity, improving modularity, and enhancing flexibility. In the context of test automation frameworks, SRP ensures that classes are easier to understand, maintain, and update with minimal time. By adhering to SRP, developers can create a more efficient, effective, maintainable, flexible, and understandable code. Other SOLID design principles include Open-Closed Principle, Liskov Substitution Principle, Interface Segregation Principle, and Dependency Inversion Principle, which collectively aim to enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, maintainability, flexibility, and understandability of software applications.
