👉 Ruggedization is a concept in software engineering that refers to the process of reducing the complexity and difficulty of a system by simplifying its components, interfaces, and design. This approach aims to make the system more efficient, scalable, and maintainable by eliminating unnecessary or redundant code or functionality, which can lead to improved performance and reduced maintenance costs. Ruggedization often involves breaking down complex systems into smaller, more manageable modules that share common components, such as data structures, algorithms, and interfaces.
