There are many variables to be properly managed in the building of a database application (especially on-line) which, if misunderstood or ignored, could lead to eventual failure. Design review methodology addresses the need to test the system design as early as possible in the development cycle in order to avoid the potentially high expense of implementing an inadequate design. The methodology provides a way to examine the soundness of a design at various points of a system development prior to the actual building of a system. Design review can be considered a method of quality control of system design.
