Design process
3 Characteristics
•Implement all the explicit and implicit requirements
•Must be a readable
•Provide complete picture of a software
Guidelines
•Should Be Modular
•Should Contain Distinct Representations Of Data
•Should Lead To Data Structures
•Should Lead To Components
•Should Lead To Interfaces
•Should Be Derived Using A Repeatable Method
•Should Be Represented using a notation
Quality Attributes
•Usability
•Reliability
•Performance
•Supportability
•Maintainability
 Design
process
 Design Concepts
 Framework for implementing the right software
Following are certain issues that are considered while designing the
software:
•Abstraction
•Software Architecture
Structural Models
Framework Models
Dynamic Models
Process Models
Functional Models
•Patterns
•Separation
•Modularity
Design classes
•Different Types Of Design Classes
•User Interface Classes
•Business Domain Classes
•Process Classes
•Persistent Classes
•System Classes
Purpose of Design
 Design
Heuristics
ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND DESIGN
•Architectural Model Or Style Is A Pattern
•Computer-based Systems
•Set Of Connectors
•Semantic Models
Number Of Fundamental Ways:
•Scope Of A Pattern Is Less Broad
•Pattern Imposes A Rule On The Architecture
Data-centered architectures
Data-flow architectures
Main program/subprogram architectures
Layered architectures
 Representing the System in
Context
 Defining
Archetypes
Design Analysis Activities
•Collect scenarios
•Elicit requirements, constraints, and environment
description
How the architectural styles/patterns chosen to
address the scenarios and requirements.
•Evaluate
•Identify
 Step 1:Review the fundamental system model

Context-level DFD for the Safe Home security function

 Step 2. Review and refine data flow diagrams for the software.

Level 1 DFD for the Safe Home security function Level 1 DFD for the
Safe Home security
 Step 3. Determine whether the DFD has transform or
transaction flow characteristics.

Level 2 DFD that refines the monitor sensors transform

Step 4. Isolate the transform center by specifying
incoming and outgoing flow boundaries
Step 5. Perform “first-level factoring.”
Step 6. Perform “second-level factoring.”
Step 7. Refine the first-iteration architecture
using design heuristics for improved software
quality.
