            Abstract : 
The importance of having a software design methodology is discussed. Its role in software reuse and in promoting software quality and reliability is examined. The waterfall model of software development, which allows a natural progression of steps to be followed during the course of a project, and the use of structure charts are described. Software testing and maintenance are briefly considered.<>
