[Year 12 SofDev] Design of User Interface

[Adrian Janson]

Actually on second thoughts I can see why Development is the suggested
answer.  It is during the development phase that the software development
itself takes place - and the Design phase is really about selecting
hardware, software and determining features of the system rather than
getting stuck into details such as UI's.  The design phase might determine
that a software package needs to be created and have certain requirements -
and some designs might be created which represent what the UI should ideally
look like.  But it is a lot like a concept sketch of a new house versus a
detailed plan of what each of the rooms will look like.

 

I change my vote!

 

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi Quentin,

 

The key word would seem to be 'designing' so in this respect 'Design' would
be the most correct response.

Hi All,

 

Question 2 of Section B of VITTA  sample exam 3, 2007, (whew!) asks what
stage if the SDLC  designing the user interface takes place.  The supplied
answer is Development.  Can someone please help me explain to my students
why it does not happen during the design stage?

 

Thanks!!
