Design review 3

Your role in design review 3 is to ensure that the flow of transactions is consistent with the database design you are creating.

The third design review takes place after initial logic specifications for the system are complete. At this point, high level pseudo code or flowcharts are complete. These can only be considered complete when major decision points in the logic are defined, calls or references to external data and modules are defined, and the general logic flow is known. All modules and external interfaces are defined at this point, definition of data requirements is complete, and database and data files are designed. Initial test and recovery plans are available; however, no code has been written. When design review 3 concludes successfully, its output is an approved set of initial logic specifications.

Everyone who attended design review 2 should attend design review 3. If the project is large, those developing detailed design need only be present during the review of their portion of the project.

It is possible now that logic specifications are available.

At this point in the design review process, you are designing hierarchies and starting to design the database.
