Making design assumptions

Assumptions are made by the architect and have not yet been validated. Assumptions are accepted as a fact until they have been validated or invalidated. As part of the design process, each assumption needs to be validated as a fact. If an assumption cannot be validated, a risk will be introduced into the design.

How to do it...

Any assumptions that are made will need to be defined and documented as follows:

1. Identify any assumptions that have been made about the design
2. Document the design assumptions
