When you already have your project figured out and you are at the stage where you need to start planning exactly how you are going to develop the software what tools do you find the most useful?
Power of Mind... Yup, Lone Wolf McCode, that's my middle name.

Did any one noticed about Borland's new products especially towards project requirements and analysis? http://www.borland.com/us/solutions/requirements-definition-management/requirements-definition.html

heh. I still use the old Select SSADM and Enterprise, because they're so small and fast (SSADM fits on a floppy disk, for crying out loud! Anyone remember what they were?)

What is this design that you speak of?

It's the process that is usually followed when developers are two-thirds of the way through the build.

Visio, NUnit and lots of coffee. :)

Oh man, that brings back memories. I have one of those that I used the first couple of years of college. I've even still got a couple of pads of 80-column card layout paper :-O.

If you are redesigning your own DNA, hey, why not custom design your own mate first?

It would take at least 18 years before you could test drive your creation. ;)

That's right - the entire solution appears, full blown, in the programers mind, then it just takes a few hours to code in....if only....:sigh: The problem most often is poor requirements resulting in vague designs and applications that need to be tweaked.

Actually if you're smart enough, the best way to design software would be to encode it into the atoms of a crystal, along with the source code, comments GUI AND documentation. ;P

Went through a UML phase and tried lots of tools for that. Ended up in analysis paralysis. Went back to a word processor to write up what we are thinking with simple diagrams.
