SOFTWARE DESIGN

By : Allan Jay L. Morillo, CCpE


• Software design refers to the
process of defining the
Software architecture, components,
Design interfaces, and other
characteristics of a system or
application. It plays a crucial role in
the software development lifecycle
by translating requirements into a
representation of the software's
structure
1. Early Days (1950s-1960s):
• During the early days of
History computing, software design
focused largely on algorithms
and efficient use of hardware
resources.
• Languages like Fortran and
COBOL emerged, influencing
early design practices.
2. Structured Programming
(1970s):
History • The 1970s saw the rise of
structured programming,
advocating for modular and
hierarchical program design.
• Edsger Dijkstra and others
promoted structured
programming principles for
clearer, more maintainable
code.
3. Object-Oriented Design
(1980s-1990s):
History • Object-oriented design (OOD)
became prominent,
emphasizing modularity,
encapsulation, and reusability.
• Languages like Smalltalk, C++,
and later Java popularized
OOD concepts.
4. Component-Base Design
(1990s-2000s):
History • Component-based design
(CBD) emerged, promoting
software development based
on reusable software
components.
• This era also saw the advent of
design patterns, standard
solutions to common design
problems.
5. Service-Oriented Design
(2000s-Present):
History • Service-oriented architecture
(SOA) and later microservices
architecture focused on
building applications as loosely
coupled services.
• Design principles shifted
towards scalability, flexibility,
and interoperability.
5. Modern Trends (Present):
• Today, software design
History continues to evolve with agile
and DevOps practices,
emphasizing iterative
development, continuous
integration, and delivery.
• Design patterns, domain-driven
design (DDD), and design
thinking are integral to modern
software design practices.
 Requirements Analysis
- Understanding and
Overview documenting user requirement.
 Architectural Design
- Defining the overall
Overview structure and components of
the system.
 Detailed Design
- Elaborating the user
Overview interface for usability and user
experience.
 User Interface Design
- Designing the user
Overview interface for usability and user
experience.
 Database Design
- Structuring data storage
Overview and retrieval mechanisms.
 Component Design
- Designing individual
Overview software components or
modules.
 Design Patterns
- Applying reusable
Overview solutions to common design
problems.
 Testing and Validation
- Ensuring that the design
Overview meets functional and non-
functional requirements.
