Question 1 Report

(a) Explain what is meant by the design stage of the system development life cycle. [2]

[1] It produces detailed specifications covering the system's inputs, outputs, processes and data structures, providing a blueprint for the development stage before any coding begins. [1]

(b) Three items typically designed during this stage:

  1. The user interface layout, including screen designs, menus and forms that the user will interact with. [1]
  2. The data structures and database design, including the tables, fields, data types and relationships between tables. [1]
