Diagrams are various types are drawn addressing all the data parameters, features and functionality. User Interfaces are designed determining how input is obtained and how output is displayed, along with the controls available to the user in the different parts of the Software.

• Work flow and Business Process Diagrams

  (Case diagrams, Class diagrams, Object diagrams, Sequence diagrams, Collaboration diagrams State chart diagrams, Activity diagrams,
  Component diagrams , Deployment diagrams)
