Application Design

Application design is the creation of detailed plans and blueprints for the development of software applications. Within application design, it is crucial to understand the requirements and goals of a project. There are multiple designs required for one single project. For example, there is the user interface design and the user experience design. These two primarily focus on the visual layout, navigation, and interaction element of the project. Then the database design is there to ensure there is easy data retrieval and manipulation. Component design is where there is a design for each function within the solution. Here it is also important to define how each component will interact with each other. It is important to have a written explanation of the design decisions, architecture, components, and how different parts of the application work together. This is called documentation.
