Title
Information Technology—Systems Design—Software Design Descriptions
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
Publication Date:
Mar 19, 2009
Scope:
This standard describes software designs and establishes the
information content and organization of a software design
description (SDD). An SDD is a representation of a software design
to be used for recording design information and communicating that
design information to key design stakeholders. This standard is
intended for use in design situations in which an explicit SDD is
to be prepared. These situations include traditional software
construction activities, when design leads to code, and "reverse
engineering" situations when a design description is recovered from
an existing implementation.
This standard can be applied to commercial, scientific, or
military software that runs on digital computers. Applicability is
not restricted by the size, complexity, or criticality of the
software. This standard can be applied to the description of
high-level and detailed designs.
This standard does not prescribe specific methodologies for
design, configuration management, or quality assurance. This
standard does not require the use of any particular design
languages, but establishes requirements on the selection of design
languages for use in an SDD. This standard can be applied to the
preparation of SDDs captured as paper documents, automated
databases, software development tools, or other media.
Purpose
This standard specifies requirements on the information content
and organization of SDDs. The standard specifies requirements for
the selection of design languages to be used for SDD, and
requirements for documenting design viewpoints to be used in
organizing an SDD.
