• Object-Oriented Design

• Use the same naming scheme everywhere
• Use the same techniques and mechanisms everywhere
• In similar methods use the same order of parameters

See section contrary principles.

• Proposed

• Easy to Use and Hard to Misuse (EUHM): Uniform interfaces are easier to use than others.

• Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS): Sometimes UP demands more complex solutions because they are already applied elsewhere and for the sake of uniformity shall also be applied in simpler contexts where they would not be necessary.
• Model Principle (MP): UP may demand adhering to a certain naming scheme, which may not be best with respect to MP.

• Principle of Least Surprise (PLS): When applying UP, PLS should also be considered for naming modules.
