Separating the Work a System Does From the Interface to that Work

The work a system does and the interface to that work should be separated from one another. This is a concept that evolves from the Single Responsibility Principle and from Test Driven Development. Whether this work be hosted in a console program, a GUI program, exposed as a service for outside systems to utilize, or any other possible configuration, follow SRP and keep the work separate from the hosting interface that exposes the work to a client (a client in this case can be a person or another software system).
