(responding to Pablo Schor)

I don't recall anyone responding to this, so I'll attempt to do so.

AFAICS, the Robustness Analysis starts from the situation as
it exists in the Business before the development of the proposed
new system.  As such, there will already be some mechanism
for doing what we want the system to do.  Naturally, this will
include some presentation aspects and some data storage
aspects  (these may be paper forms and filing cabinets...).

In the system to be developed, there will be requirements 
related to presentation and possibly to data storage (e.g.
interfacing to existing database). 

For these reasons, at least, (possibly for other reasons)
the ideas of presentation and data storage may need to
appear prior to design.  Design deals with making those
decisions that remain to be made, including any with respect
to presentation and data storage that are not already made
in the form of requirements and constraints.
