The design process translates requirements into a representation of the software that can be assessed（可评估） for quality before coding begins. Coding The design must be translated into a machine-readable form. The coding step performs this task.

A systems analyst would analyze an existing system and produce a written document that would identify the following: ● The needs of people who use the system; ● The existing inputs, outputs ,and processing; ● The flow of information through the system. Content(3): In this case,The goal of the background study is to: ● Identify and prioritize system-related problems and costs; ● Identify opportunities to improve systems performance; ● Produce a functional specification.
