All rights reserved 6- Requirements Software requirements specify the tasks that a program must accomplish what to do, not how to do it Often an initial set of requirements is provided, but they should be critiqued and expanded It is difficult to establish detailed, unambiguous, and complete requirements Careful attention to the requirements can save significant time and expense in the overall project © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 6- Design A software design specifies how a program will accomplish its requirements That is, a software design determines: how the solution can be broken down into manageable pieces what each piece will do An object-oriented design determines which classes and objects are needed, and specifies how they will interact Low level design details include how individual methods will accomplish their tasks © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley.
