The Design Process & Steps
Learn a structured approach to system design, from requirements gathering to iterative refinement and evaluation.
Why a Design Process?
Complex systems need a roadmap. The system design process is a structured way to plan and build software that is robust, scalable, and actually meets user needs.
Step 1: Gather Requirements
Step one is gathering requirements: functional (what it does, like "users can register") and non-functional (how well, like "loads in under a second").
