Summary

In this chapter, we explored the importance of system design and its role in developing software solutions that meet both functional and non-functional requirements. System design involves defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and interactions of a software system. By effectively translating requirements into a well-structured blueprint, system design forms the foundation for successful software development.

We discussed two types of system design: high-level and low-level. High-level system design encompasses critical aspects such as system architecture, data flow, scalability, and fault tolerance. Conversely, low-level system design focuses on implementation details and specific components. Throughout the design process, a set of design documents is produced, serving as valuable blueprints for the actual implementation of the software system.

The significance of system design in the industry cannot be overstated. It promotes a clear understanding...
