Department of Computer Science & Engineering (July - Dec 2020)

This document discusses logical and physical design in systems development. It defines logical design as defining system functions and relationships, while physical design describes a specific implementation based on logical design. The relationship between logical and physical design is explained, with physical design building on logical design. Input-Process-Output (IPO) charts are introduced as a tool to understand system structure and functions hierarchically. IPO charts include a hierarchy chart, overview diagram, and detailed diagram. The document is from Aravali College of Engineering and Management in Faridabad, India.

Introduction
• Starts with the planning of a new system
• Designing is not a single phase of SDLC
• Design is always happening
• You collect info, then Design, collect more info
from feedback and Design again.

Relationship between logical
and Physical Design

– The logical design defines the functions and


features of the system and the
relationships among its components
– Logical design done during the system analysis
phase

The Relationship between Logical and
Physical Design
– The physical design of an information system is a plan for the
actual implementation of the system
– The physical design is built on the system’s logical design and
describes a specific implementation
– System design usually begins after completing system analysis
phase
– Some overlap is possible, you might return to fact-finding if you
discover that you overlooked an important issue, if user have
significant new needs, or if legal or governmental requirements
change

• The systems analyst must understand the logical design of the
system before beginning the physical design of any one
component

IPO/ HIPO Charts
• Developed by IBM
• To understand structure and
functions of systems
• To provide easily understandable
description of various parts of
system

Purpose:
• to define procedures and operations in a
hierarchical manner, correlating input,
processing, and output steps with the
integrated whole expressed in the
hierarchy diagram.
