Abstract

Modular software development has several benefits, such as flexibility regarding unexpected changes and increasing our ability to understand each module in isolation. Over the last few years, research on modular development has resulted in many proposals, from new abstractions to the creation of new programming paradigms. However, developers of real projects have not implemented these proposals in their daily work. In fact, in most cases, developers keep using their basic knowledge of object-oriented programming. In this poster, we discuss some possible reasons for this problem.
