What is software design?

• Software design is the process of defining the architecture and components of a software system.

• Software design is the process of testing software applications.

• Software design refers to the user interface only.

• Software design is only about coding practices.

Can you name a part of the design process?

• Ideation

• Prototyping

• Testing

• Implementation

What does coupling mean in software?

• Coupling is the degree of interdependence between software modules.

• Coupling indicates the size of a software application.

• Coupling is the process of merging software modules.

• Coupling refers to the speed of software execution.

What is cohesion in software design?

• Cohesion measures the performance efficiency of a software application.

• Cohesion is the measure of how closely related and focused the responsibilities of a software module are.

• Cohesion is the degree to which software modules are interconnected.

• Cohesion refers to the overall size of a software module.

Why is it important to have good design?

• Good design is important because it improves usability, enhances aesthetics, and effectively communicates messages.

• Good design is only about making things look pretty.

• Good design is irrelevant in digital products.

• Good design is solely focused on cost reduction.

Can you think of a way to make software easier to use?

• Implement user-centered design and simplify the user interface.

• Remove user feedback options

• Increase the complexity of the user interface

• Add more features to the software

What happens if parts of software are too coupled?

• Improved user experience

• Too coupled software components lead to increased maintenance difficulty, reduced reusability, higher risk of bugs, and challenges in testing.

• Easier integration with other systems

• Increased performance and speed

How can we make sure our software is cohesive?

• Design modules with a single responsibility and clear interfaces.

• Create modules with overlapping responsibilities.

• Use vague interfaces for better flexibility.

• Combine multiple functionalities in a single module.

What is one thing you learned about design today?

• Design is only about making things look pretty.

• Functionality is irrelevant in design.

• All designs must follow strict rules.

• Effective design balances aesthetics with functionality.

Why do we need to plan before we build software?

• Planning is unnecessary for small projects.

• Planning only adds to the cost of development.

• Building software without a plan is always faster.

• We need to plan to ensure requirements are met, resources are allocated effectively, and risks are managed.
