Design Process and Specifications Guide

The document discusses the design stage of the specification process and its purpose, activities, and deliverables. The design stage represents a customer's requirements through meaningful engineering representations of what will be built. Its activities include designing forms, interfaces, and logical databases. Major deliverables of the design stage are design specifications, which have three sections: a narrative overview, sample design, and testing/usability assessment. These specifications serve as inputs for the system implementation phase.

Purpose of the Design Stage


Design is a meaningful engineering
representation of something that is to be
built. It can be traced to a customers
requirements and at the same time
assessed for quality against a set of
predefined criteria for good design.

Activities During Design


1. Designing forms (hard copy and computer displays)
and reports, which describe how data will appear to
users in system inputs and outputs.
2. Designing interfaces and dialogues, which describe
the pattern of interaction between system users and
software.
3. Designing logical databases, which describe a
standard structure for the database of a system that is
easy to implement in a variety of database
technologies.

Design documents and


deliverables
In case of designing forms and reports, design
specifications are the major deliverables and are
inputs to the system implementation phase.
Design specifications have three sections:
Narrative overview
Sample design
Testing and usability assessment
