top-down approach to identifying generalizations
subject			fact

top-down approach to identifying generalizations	divides up a complex class, creating new subclasses
	is a subtopic of 5.8 - The Process Of Developing Class Diagrams
	is an instance of approach to identifying generalizations
	is an instance of top-down design
top-down design	has advantage gives the system being designed a good structure
design	determines how components will be implemented in a system
	has goals Increasing profit by reducing cost and increasing revenue Ensuring that we actually conform with the requirements, thus solving the customers' problems Accelerating development, which helps reduce short-term costs, and may also ensure the software reaches the market soon enough to effectively compete Increasing qualities such as usability, efficiency, reliability, maintainability, and reusability which can help reduce costs and also increase revenues
	has part detailed design
	has part modelling
	has part programming
	has part software architecture^2
	has part systems engineering
	has part user interface design
	requires considerable experience
