Design
Introduction
Design is the creative process of transforming the problem into a solution; the solution is also called design. -- 📖 Software Engineering Theory and Practice, Shari Lawrence; Atlee, Joanne M. Pfleeger
Software design has two main aspects:
- Product/external design: designing the external behavior of the product to meet the users' requirements. This is usually done by product designers with input from business analysts, user experience experts, user representatives, etc.
- Implementation/internal design: designing how the product will be implemented to meet the required external behavior. This is usually done by software architects and software engineers.
