Objectives of Systems Design

Why learn System Design?

In any development process, be it Software or any other tech, the most important stage is Design. Without the designing phase, you cannot jump to the implementation or the testing part. The same is the case with the System as well....

Objectives of Systems Design

Practicality: We need a system that should be targetting the set of audiences(users) corresponding to which they are designing. Accuracy: Above system design should be designed in such a way it fulfills nearly all requirements around which it is designed be it functional o non-functional requirements. Completeness: System design should meet all user requirements   Efficient: The system design should be such that it should not overuse surpassing the cost of resources nor under use as it will by now we know will result in low thorough put (output) and less response time(latency). Reliability: The system designed should be in proximity to a failure-free environment for a certain period of time.   Optimization: Time and space are just likely what we do for code chunks for individual components to work in a system.  Scalable(flexibility): System design should be adaptable with time as per different user needs of customers which we know will keep on changing on time. The best example here out is the well-known firm: Nokia. It is the most important aspect while designing systems and is the result of why 1 of 100 startups succeed over the long run, the best example here out is GeeksforGeeks....

Components of Systems Design

Below are some of the major components of the System Design. discussed in brief. The detailed version of this will be discussed in different posts:...

System Design Life Cycle (SDLC)

The System Design Life Cycle (SDLC) is a comprehensive process that outlines the steps involved in designing and developing a system, be it a software application, hardware solution, or an integrated system combining both. It encompasses a series of phases that guide engineers through the creation of a system that aligns with the user’s needs and organizational goals. The SDLC aims to ensure that the end product is reliable, scalable, and maintainable....

System Architecture

Software architecture is a way in which we define how the components of a design are depicted design and deployment of software....

Modularity and Interfaces In Systems Design

Modular design refers to a method/procedure for product design involving integrating or combining smaller, independent elements to create a finished product. A large product (like a car) can be separated into smaller, simpler components that are separately developed and produced using the modular design approach. The ultimate product is created by integrating (or assembling) each of these component parts. Interfaces In System Design is the area where users interact. It consists of the screen displays that facilitate system navigation, the screens and forms that gather data, and the system’s reports....

Evolution/Upgrade/Scale of an Existing System

With the increase in tech usage, be it offline or online, it is now a must for every developer to design and create a scalable system. If the system is not scalable, with the increase in users, it is very likely that the system will crash. Hence the concept of scaling comes into play....

How Data Flows Between System

Data flows between systems through Data Flow Diagrams or DFDs....

System Design Example: Airline Reservation System

Now since we have discussed about the basics of System Design so far, let us now understand System Design through a basic example – Airline Reservation System....

Advantages of System Design

Upon detailed discussion of the introduction to system design, it is a must now to discuss its merits and demerits....
