Question 1

Discuss the different parts in the design phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC).

Accepted Answer

Answers will vary. During the design phase, analysts choose the solution that is the most realistic and offers the highest payoff for the organization. The design phase consists of three parts: conceptual design, logical design, and physical design. 
The conceptual design is an overview of the system and does not include hardware or software choices. The logical design makes the conceptual design more specific by indicating hardware and software, such as specifying Linux servers, Windows clients, an object-oriented programming language, and a relational database management system (DBMS). These choices usually require changing the conceptual design to fit the platforms and programming languages chosen. Finally, the physical design is created for a specific platform, such as choosing Dell servers running Ubuntu Linux, Dell laptops running Windows 10 and Internet Explorer, Java for the programming language, and SQL Server 2019 for the relational DBMS.
