What is the Difference between conceptual and technical design?

Conceptual Design

• written in customer's language

• explaining the observable external characteristics of

the system

• contains no technical jargon (If it does, define it.)

• describes the functions of the system

• is independent of implementation

• is linked to the requirements documents

Technical design

• describes of major hardware components and their

functions

• shows hierarchy (organization) and functions of the

software components

• shows data structures and data flow

• shows interfaces
