Study Notes

Software Architecture

Serves as a blueprint for software development, illustrating the overall software structure.
Comprises a collection of components and defines how they interact, while abstracting implementation details.
Facilitates clear communication among the development team regarding software construction based on customer requirements.

System Architecture vs Software Architecture

System architecture is a conceptual model describing the structure and behavior of a system's multiple components and subsystems.
Includes various elements such as software applications, network devices, hardware, and machinery.
Utilizes Architecture Description Language (ADL) to detail the entire system architecture.
System architecture encompasses a broader scope compared to software architecture, addressing overall system interactions rather than just software components.
