requirements, confirming that the design adequately solves the problem outlined
in the requirements. By comparing the program design with the original require-
ments, both the programmer and the user can validate that the solution is cor-
rect and satisfactory.
Having analyzed the problem, designed the interface, and planned and vali-
dated the program logic, the analysis and design of the application is complete.
As shown in Table 7-1 on page 433, the next task in the development cycle is to
implement the design.
