1.1 Types of design tools GapFill

Design tools are an essential part of any software development cycle, not only because of how they make the   answerflowcodetables of the project easier to understand but also how they can be used to identify any mistakes in the project.

A  toolGantt chartflow chartdesign is a simple and effective way to show the stages of a project. It consists of standard symbols connected to each other, showing the processes and decisions involved in a project.

Another graphical way to show ideas and concepts is using mind maps. There are three different categories of mind maps:

•  LibraryBasicCircleFlow
•  StudyMemoryPresentationFlow
•  Tunnel timelineFlowCircleMemory

All these categories are used in the  lastearlydifferentlater stages of development, which makes it easier for us to solve problems.

 DiagramsFlow chartsVisualisation diagramsWireframes show how the final product should look by providing a display that can be easily understood by the client.

When showing a client what kind of website or application is going to be implemented, a   flow chartwireframecopysketch is made which is a blueprint of how the application is going to be structured. This helps save a lot of time and effort which can simplify the  structurefinalpatterndesign phase of any development cycle.
