Study Notes

Systems Design in Analysis to Design to Implementation

Systems design involves two levels: architectural design and detailed design
Inputs to design activities include documents and models built during earlier analysis activities
Design is a model-building activity oriented toward technical issues, requiring less user involvement
Output of design activities includes diagrams and documents recording various aspects of the solution system
Design objectives differ from analysis objectives
Analysis models transition into design models
Design activities include communications with external systems and conforming to existing technology architecture
Application components are well-defined units of software that perform specific functions
Designing the application architecture involves partitioning the system into subsystems and defining software architecture
Typical models for defining application components include design class diagrams
Dialog design begins with requirements, followed by designing user interfaces for various environments and devices
Design activities also involve designing system interfaces, databases, software classes and methods, and security and system controls
