The Design Process

• Software design is an iterative process through which requirements


are translated into a “blueprint” for constructing the software.
• The design is represented at a high level of abstraction—a level that
can be directly traced to the specific system objective and more
detailed data, functional, and behavioral requirements
Software Quality Guidelines and Attributes
• Three characteristics for good design
• 1. The design must implement all of the explicit requirements
contained in the requirements model, and it must accommodate all of
the implicit requirements desired by stakeholders.
• 2. The design must be a readable, understandable guide for those
who generate code and for those who test and subsequently support
the software.
• 3. The design should provide a complete picture of the software,
addressing the data, functional, and behavioural domains from an
implementation perspective
Quality Guidelines
• 1. A design should exhibit an architecture.
• 2. A design should be modular.
• 3. A design should contain distinct representations of data .
• 4. A design should lead to data structures that are appropriate for the
classes.
• 5. A design should lead to components that exhibit independent functional
characteristics.
• 6. A design should lead to interfaces that reduce the complexity of
connections.
• 7. A design should be derived using a repeatable method.
• 8. A design should be represented using a notation that effectively
communicates its meaning.
Quality Attributes
• Functionality : It evaluates the feature set and capabilities of the program
• Usability : It is accessed by considering the factors such as human factor,
consistency and documentation.
• Reliability : It is evaluated by measuring parameters like frequency and security
of failure, output result accuracy, recovery from failure and program
predictability.
• Performance : It is measured by considering processing speed, response time,
resource consumption, throughput and efficiency.
• Supportability : It combines the ability to extend the program, adaptability,
serviceability, testability, compatibility and configurability are the terms using
which a system can be easily installed and found the problem easily.
Supportability also consists of more attributes such as modularity,
reusability, robustness, security, portability, scalability.
