SOLID Principles Quick Reference
Interviewers love asking you to identify violations and suggest fixes
Single Responsibility Principle
A class should have only one reason to change. Split classes that do too much into focused collaborators.
O — OCPOpen/Closed Principle
Open for extension, closed for modification. Use Strategy or Template Method patterns instead of if/else chains.
L — LSPLiskov Substitution Principle
Subtypes must be substitutable for base types. Classic violation: Square extends Rectangle.
I — ISPInterface Segregation Principle
Clients shouldn't implement methods they don't use. Split fat interfaces into role-specific ones.
D — DIPDependency Inversion Principle
Depend on abstractions, not concretions. The foundation of Spring's dependency injection model.
