Software Design

Software Design is the process of planning and creating the structure of a software system before actual coding begins. It acts as a blueprint that guides developers on how the software will work, how components interact, and how it meets user requirements.

Key Aspects of Software Design
Architecture Design
- Defines the overall structure of the software
- Determines how modules, components, and databases interact
Interface Design
- Specifies how users or other systems will interact with the software - Includes user interfaces (UI) and APIs
Component Design
- Breaks down the software into smaller modules or components - Each module has a specific function
Data Design
- Defines how data is stored, processed, and accessed - Includes database design and data structures
Algorithm & Logic Design
- Determines the logic and sequence of operations - Focuses on efficiency and correctness
