The Software Design Description ( SDD ) is an IEEE ( Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers ) using published (ANSI / IEEE Std 1016-1998 ) standard, which defines how to design a program to be specified. The current version is from 1016 to 2009.

Generally

SDD the document is a representation of a software system which is used to communicate with software design information. It includes substantial portions of the Development Requirements ( D- Requirements). It describes the architecture of the software or of the overall system and of the individual components. An SDD is usually created only for larger projects, or there where the system architecture has a significant impact on the software. For smaller projects, it is common to make the design directly in the D Requirement part of the Software Requirements Specification (SRS ). The description of the design should be no longer than 3 pages, otherwise it is recommended that a SDD to create.

The document should contain the following main chapters:

• IEEE Standard
• Software Engineering
