Dependency Injection
/dɪˈpendənsi ɪnˈdʒekʃən/

A design pattern where dependencies are passed in from outside rather than created internally — improves testability and flexibility.
Example in context
"The service receives the database connection via DI — in tests we inject a mock, in production we inject the real one."
