Good day
@zenquality ;
Specific to your topic, the supporting vocabulary (ISO 9000) provides the following definition....
ISO9000
3.4.8 design and development
Set of processes that transform requirements for an object into more detailed requirements for that project.
The actual standard itself actually (in my professional opinion) provides better information within the clauses for
"design...inputs"; "
design...controls"; "
design...outputs".
Do you have a specific example of what you are trying to accomplish (i..e what specifically prompted your question)?
Hope this helps.
Be well.
