The Systems Development Life Cycle: Design

The four parts of the design phase:

  1. User interface
  2. Data structure
  3. Program design
  4. Prototype — a working model of the system.
In contrast to the analysis phase, the design phase addresses "how" the system will accomplish the objectives. During the design phase, each portion of the new system is designed in detail, including the user interface, data structure, and the program design. The design phase often ends with a prototype — a working model of the system.
