2SOFTWARE DESIGN SPECIFICATION
Introduction:
The software design can be considered as the procedure for converting the requirements
of the user into appropriate forms that assists the programmer in coding the software and
developing the proposed system. The SRS or software requirement specification document is
used for documenting the analysis of the software by the analyst. The data presented in the SRS
document are used for creating the design of the system. The design related information of the
system is stored in the SDS document. The application design is considered as the initial phase
for converting the concentration of the project from the concern domain to the solution domain.
The document holds the information of system design and various testing cases. The
system designs will be based on the case study of Pay Per View TV. A user interface will be
given based on the use case of selecting the movies for broadcasting in the TV. There will be few
conditions for selecting the movies which will be also mentioned in the interface through hints.
Purpose of SDS:
The document will be used for defining the design of the Pay Per View TV’s movie
broadcast selection process. This document consists of particular information regarding the
suitable output, input, functions and classes. The document also holds the interface design to
provide an idea of the navigation through out the system, the type of inputs and how the data is
presented in the subscriber’s TV. It also shows the interaction among the classes to complete a
process. The class diagrams and state chart diagrams will be provided within the document to
provide an idea of the actual system design.
