9Understanding the Elements of

Design

Design is the process of describing, organizing, and structuring the components of a system at both the architectural level and at a detailed level Focused on construction Like developing blueprints

Three questions What components require systems design? What are the inputs to and outputs of the

design process? How is systems design done?

9Inputs and Outputs: Moving from

Analysis to Design

Design: Converts functional models from

analysis into models that represent the solution

Focused on technical issues Requires less user involvement than

analysis

9Structured Approach to Designing

the Application Architecture

Application software programs Designed in conjunction with database and user

interfaces Hierarchy of modules

Documented with system flowcharts

Design internal program logic

Top-down approach DFDs with automation boundaries Structure charts

Automation System Boundary

Partitions data flow processes into manual and automated systems

Processes can be inside or outside boundary

Data flows can be inside and outside of boundary

Structure Chart

Describes functions and subfunctions of each part of system

Shows relationships between modules of a computer program

Simple and direct method Each module performs a specific function Each layer in a program performs specific

activities
