System design is the phase that bridges the gap between problem domain and the existing system in a manageable way. This phase focuses on the solution domain, i.e. “how to implement?”
It is the phase where the SRS document is converted into a format that can be implemented and decides how the system will operate.
In this phase, the complex activity of system development is divided into several smaller sub-activities, which coordinate with each other to achieve the main objective of system development.
Inputs to System Design
System design takes the following inputs −
- Statement of work
- Requirement determination plan
- Current situation analysis
- Proposed system requirements including a conceptual data model, modified DFDs, and Metadata (data about data).
Outputs for System Design
System design gives the following outputs −
- Infrastructure and organizational changes for the proposed system.
- A data schema, often a relational schema.
- Metadata to define the tables/files and columns/data-items.
- Actual or pseudocode for each module in the program.
- A prototype for the proposed system.
