No, sequence diagrams and CRC cards are not strictly required for all coding, but they are essential for defining component behavior before implementation. They facilitate a design-first approach by mapping responsibilities and execution flows to prevent unanchored code.

You can generate sequence diagrams by outlining component responsibilities and interactions to define execution flows. This anchors the behavioral logic before coding, enforcing a strict audit process to identify discrepancies between the defined design and actual implementation.

A design-first approach should be used for software architecture when you need to map component responsibilities and execution flows before coding. It ensures robust design by anchoring component behavioral logic to prevent discrepancies during implementation.

Yes, you can use CRC cards to map component responsibilities before writing code. This anchors component behavior and establishes a strict audit process to prevent unanchored code and rectify discrepancies between the design and implementation.

A design-first approach should be used to prevent unanchored code by defining component behavior through CRC cards and sequence diagrams before implementation. It ensures robust software architecture by mapping responsibilities and execution flows to anchor behavioral logic.
