After the purpose and specifications of software is determined, software developers will continue to develop a plan for a solution. It includes low-level component and algorithm implementation issues as well as the architectural view.

There are many aspects to consider in the design of a piece of software. The importance of each should reflect the goals the software is trying to achieve. Some of these aspects are:

• Extensibility - New capabilities can be added to the software without major changes to the underlying architecture
• Robustness - The software is able to operate under stress or tolerate unpredictable or invalid input
• Reliability - The software is able to perform a required function under stated conditions for a specified period of time
• Fault-tolerance - The software is resistant to and able to recover from component failure
• Security - The software is able to withstand hostile acts and influences
• Maintainability - The software can be restored to a specified condition
• Compatibility - The software is able to operate with other products that are designed for interoperability with another product
• Modularity - the resulting software comprises well defined, independent components
• Reusability - the modular components designed should capture the essence of the functionality expected out of them and no more or less
