SOFTWARE DESIGN SPECIFICATION
1.0 Introduction
This section provides an overview of the entire design document. This document
describes all data, architectural, interface and component-level design for the
software.
1.1 Goals and objectives
Overall goals and software objectives are described.
1.2 Statement of scope
A description of the software is presented. Major inputs, processing
functionality, and outputs are described without regard to implementation
detail.
1.3 Software context
The software is placed in a business or product line context. Strategic
issues relevant to context are discussed. The intent is for the reader to
understand the 'big picture'.
1.4 Major constraints
Any business or product line constraints that will impact he manner in
which the software is to be specified, designed, implemented or tested are
noted here.
2.0 Data design
A description of all data structures including internal, global, and temporary data
structures.
2.1 Internal software data structure
Data structures that are passed among components the software are
described.
2.2 Global data structure
Data structured that are available to major portions of the architecture are
described.
2.3 Temporary data structure
Files created for interim use are described.
2.4 Database descriptio
Database(s) created as part of the application is(are) described.
3.0 Architectural and component-level design
A description of the program architecture is presented.
