SUMMARY 

A software design document (SDD) is a written documentation made by the software @ application designer to give the project team overall view of what architecture of the software project is. SDD basically comes with architecture diagram and any detail points for the application design specification. Its help a lot especially on what are the needs in the system. This document commanded to give a fairly complete description, while maintaining a high-level view of the software. SDD provides entire document needed from every little things from the system to the interface designing. Although the system looks complete, the design still document needs to be a stable reference, outlining all parts of the software and how they will work. Otherwise the document design will be look messy.
