Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Program design is typically done by analysts who use various techniques to break down requirements into detailed designs, which are then passed on to programmers to actually code. While CASE tools may assist in the process, they do not fully automate the design process and programming/development staff should not be left solely responsible for program design. Icons, metaphors, and structures may be used in the user interface design phase, but this is only one aspect of program design overall. Therefore, choice D is the best answer.
