B2 Software solutions design • Problem definition statements, to include: intended users, full summary of the problem to be solved, constraints, benefits, nature of interactivity, complexity of problem. • Purpose and any other requirements as defined in a client brief. • Features of software: o description of main program tasks, input and output formats o diagrammatic illustrations, to include screen layouts, user interfaces, navigation o algorithms and processing stages, to include flowcharts, pseudocode and events o data structures o data storage o control structures o data validation o error handling and reporting. • Choice of language. • List of pre-defined programs and/or code snippets. • List of ready-made and/or original assets such as a digital animation, digital graphic, digital audio and video. • Feedback from others to help refine alternative design ideas/prototypes and make decisions. • Test plan with test data to include typical, extreme and erroneous data. • Technical and design constraints, e.g. connectivity, memory storage, programming languages.
