ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 Question 46
ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 — Question 46 of 80
External Design — Customer Approval — screen layouts and report formats are approved by the customer.
External design defines what the user sees and interacts with: screens, input forms, output reports, and navigation flow. When this phase completes, the customer reviews and approves these deliverables.
- •Screen layout — visual arrangement of UI elements the customer will use daily
- •Report format — structure and content of system outputs
Why not others:
- (a) Physical database specification — internal design artifact, not visible to the customer
- (b) Program flowchart — internal design, describes code logic
- (d) System development plan — belongs to the project planning phase, not external design
Key rule: External design = user-facing artifacts (screens, reports) → customer approval. Internal design = technical artifacts (DB schema, program logic) → developer decisions.
