Design

The Software Design knowledge area deals with designing software.

The SWEBOK gives [Budgen2003], [Sommerville2011], [Clements2010], and [Nielsen1993] as the main reference material for this knowledge area. We first summarize that literature and then present a preliminary analysis.

ISO/IEC 42010:2011 and IEEE Std 1016 also cover software design [ISO42010] [IEEE1016].
