TL;DR
This paper discusses the concept of abstraction in object-orientation, highlighting its underutilization across all software development phases and proposing a more generalized approach to improve clarity and application.
Contribution
It introduces a highly abstracted view of object-orientation to facilitate its consistent application throughout the entire software development process.
Findings
Object-orientation's abstraction is underexploited in development phases.
A more abstract approach can unify object-oriented practices.
Clarifies confusion surrounding object-orientation concepts.
Abstract
Although object-orientation has been around for several decades, its key concept abstraction has not been exploited for proper application of object-orientation in other phases of software development than the implementation phase. We mention some issues that lead to a lot of confusion and obscurity with object-orientation and its application in software development. We describe object-orientation as abstract as possible such that it can be applied to all phases of software development.
