In computer science, data-driven programming is a programming paradigm in which the program statements describe the data to be matched and the processing required rather than defining a sequence of steps to be taken.[1] The result of adapting abstract data type design methods to object-oriented programming results in a data-driven design.[2] This type of design is used in object-oriented programming to define classes during the conception of a piece of software. Data-driven programming has been argued to lead to bad object-oriented design, with responsibility-driven design promoted as a better approach.[2]
