Design and development

Design and development

Design and development is a process (or a set of processes) that uses resources to transform general input requirements for an object into specific output requirements. An object is any entity that is either conceivable or perceivable.

Objects can be real or imaginary and could be material or immaterial. Examples include products, services, systems, organizations, people, practices, procedures, processes, plans, ideas, documents, records, methods, tools, machines, technologies, techniques, and resources.
