Software Development and Engineering Practices
Software design is the process of planning how a software system will be structured and behave before and during implementation, covering aspects like data structures, algorithms, module organization, and user interfaces. It translates requirements into a technical blueprint that guides developers during coding. Good software design emphasizes maintainability, scalability, and adherence to principles like modularity and separation of concerns.
