In terms of the waterfall development process, software design is the activity of following requirements specification and before coding ...

  3. Specification by example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification_by_example

    A key aspect of specification by example is creating a single source of truth about required changes from all perspectives. When business analysts work on their own documents, software developers maintain their own documentation and testers maintain a separate set of functional tests, software delivery effectiveness is significantly reduced by the need to constantly coordinate and synchronise ...
