  • Simplicity: The contents of a module should be minimal and simple.
  • Consistency: A module should follow consistent naming conventions, structure and coding standards.
  • Reusability: A module should be designed to be reusable across different projects and environments.
  • Transparency: The purpose of a module should be clear and well-documented.
  • Predictability: The behavior of a module should be predictable.
  • Security: A module should follow security best practices to minimize risks.
  • Maintainability: A module should be easy to maintain with minimal technical depth.
