Introduction

This chapter describes the design process and the tools CA Gen provides for design. During system development using CA Gen, designers use the information discovered during analysis as the basis for describing an information system that can satisfy the needs of the business.

The system description can be used to build and test a prototype iteratively until users are happy with the design.

The design is then constructed and tested.

Note: This guide covers client/server design. For information about the techniques and best practices for block mode design, see the Block Mode Design Guide.
