Very High-Level View

• Requirements define the clients’ view

  • What the system is supposed to do
  • Focuses on external behavior

• Design captures the developers’ view

  • How the requirements are realized
  • Defines the internal structure of the solution

• But: “What” vs. “How”

• Also, reminiscent of the Brian Cantwell Smith diagram in Jackson’s video
