Application of TRIZ Principles In Software Concepts

Author: Umakant Mishra
Abstract:
The Inventive Principles of TRIZ are not only applicable to mechanical or technical field; they are also applicable to Software solutions. Most of the 40 principles are easy to learn, but the question arises where to apply and how to apply. This article shows some simple examples of applying TRIZ principles.

Some people may ask, the solutions in this article are all known, what is the use of trying out TRIZ Principles on them. My answer is the art of problem solving is like learning a bicycle. If you are capable of riding the cycle on a known road, there will be a time when you can successfully ride the cycle on an unknown land. The practice of Principles on known solutions will enable you to explore unknown solutions in future.
