Software Architecture

B.E ( Computer Science )
MBA ( FINANCE)
USING
VISUALIZE YOUR SYSTEM
Architecting using UML

2. WE ALL KNOW THAT ...
Architecture and design are the same thing but not vice versa
Architecture and infrastructure are the same thing but not vice versa
<my favorite technology> is the architecture
A good architecture is the work of a single architect
Architecture is flat, one blueprint is enough
Architecture is just structure?
System architecture precedes software architecture?
Architecture cannot be measured and validated?
Architecture is a Science?

Architecture is an Art

3. WHY TO ARCHITECT?
How the users of the system will be
interacting with the system?
How will the application be
deployed into production and
managed?
What are the various non-functional
requirements for the application,
such as security, performance,
concurrency, internationalization,
and configuration?
How can the application be
designed to be flexible and
maintainable over time?
What are the architectural trends
that might impact your application
now or after it has been deployed?

Slide 3
Separate the areas of concern
Be explicit about how layers communicate
with each other
Abstraction should be used to implement
loose coupling between layers
Keep the data format consistent within a
layer or component

4. Models are the language of
designer, in many disciplines
Models are representations of
the system to-be-built or as-built
Models are vehicle for
communications with various
stakeholders
Visual models, blueprints
Models allow reasoning about
some characteristic of the real
system

6. ARCHITECTURE IS MAKING DECISIONS
The life of a software architect is a long (and
sometimes painful) succession of suboptimal
decisions made partly in the dark.
