The single-responsibility principle (SRP) is a computer programming principle that states that "A module should be responsible to one, and only one, actor."[1] The term actor refers to a group (consisting of one or more stakeholders or users) that requires a change in the module.

Robert C. Martin, the originator of the term, expresses the principle as, "A class should have only one reason to change".[2] Because of confusion around the word "reason" he has also clarified saying that the "principle is about people."[3] In some of his talks, he also argues that the principle is, in particular, about roles or actors. For example, while they might be the same person, the role of an accountant is different from a database administrator. Hence, each module should be responsible for each role.[4]
