Description: A business object is an abstract representation of a real-world entity within a software application. This concept is fundamental in object-oriented software development, where each object encapsulates both data and behaviors related to a specific entity. For example, in a software application, a business object might represent various entities such as a product, customer, or order, including attributes such as name, price, and available quantity, as well as methods to update information or calculate relevant metrics. Business objects allow developers to model business logic in a more intuitive and structured way, facilitating code understanding and maintenance. Additionally, they promote component reuse, as a well-designed object can be used in different parts of the application or even in different projects. The proper implementation of business objects is crucial to ensure that the software meets business requirements and adapts to future changes, which in turn improves the efficiency and effectiveness of software development.
