System design defines principles and practices for structuring complex software systems. It covers component, interface, and runtime decisions as well as non-functional requirements like scalability and reliability. The goal is to model clear architectures that ensure maintainability, performance, and adaptability in real-world products. It connects technica…
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Design decisions for structuring and shaping software systems.
System design developed as a practice from the need to decompose complex software systems into components, interfaces and operational decisions before implementation. It connects general systems thinking with architecture and development work.
Treat the system as an interaction of building blocks: requirements determine states and loads, which lead to interfaces, data flows and failure scenarios. Design makes these decisions explicit and testable.
The approach provides shared language for the system context under consideration.
Relationships, processes or measures make the effects of decisions traceable.
The approach connects requirements with testable architecture and operational decisions.
System design supports decisions about components, interfaces, data flows and quality goals before a complex system is implemented.
