top-down design		considerable experience	An approach to design in which one starts with the high-level architecture of the system, then elaborates the design of subsystems until finally designing the low-level details such as the structure of individual classes	Increasing profit by reducing cost and increasing revenue Ensuring that we actually conform with the requirements, thus solving the customers' problems Accelerating development, which helps reduce short-term costs, and may also ensure the software reaches the market soon enough to effectively compete Increasing qualities such as usability, efficiency, reliability, maintainability, and reusability which can help reduce costs and also increase revenues	design^2	user interface design	9.1 - The Process of Design	design	gives the system being designed a good structure		how components will be implemented in a system
