SYSTEM DESIGN

INTRODUCTION
System design is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements.

Once the analysis of the software requirements of the system was complete, the next step was to determine how the problem was to be solved. System design aimed at answering the question (how will the information system do what it must do to obtain a solution to the problem?) It includes:

Logical design: This involved a successive refinement of the system until it met the users requirements. The logical view of the system gave the system view as seen by the user which helped to ensure that the needs of the user were considered in the design process

Interface design: In this case the physical environment was considered that is the hardware, files and program procedures. Was represented using pseudocode.

Database design: Includes database schema representation, data normalization and database
model diagram (class diagrams)

The database design was done to enhance the speed of access, efficiency, and amount of storage space taken by the files.
