Well, my industry experience was that designs had to be produced and
signed off by users before budget was released for development work to
start. That included interfaces, very definitely; they were picky about
how they would look and what functionality they would have!
I still think it is in the Design stage!

Subject: RE: [Year 12 SofDev] Design of User Interface
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!!
