Study Notes
Load balancing
- Distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers
- Improves availability and performance
Component-Based Architecture
- Makes individual components easier to update and adapt
Microservices Architecture
- Allows for independent deployment of services
- Facilitates scalability and flexibility
- Enables continuous delivery and deployment, allowing rapid feature updates
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Facilitates secure communication and integration of various services and applications
Distributed Architecture
- Allows for data management across multiple locations
- Maintains consistency and real-time updates
Passive Redundancy
- Involves having backup systems that can take over if the primary system fails
- Ensures application is available during critical periods
Component-Based Architecture
- Allows for modular design, easier to update and adapt individual components without affecting entire system
Exception Handling
- Allows for immediate responses to errors
Shadow Operations
- Used to test components without impacting the live system
Event Logging
- Provides historical data for diagnosing issues
Intrusion Prevention
- Helps protect against unauthorized access to sensitive information
User Experience Design
- Focuses on creating meaningful experiences for users
Interaction Design and Navigation Design
- Considered the “Skeleton” of user experience design
- Includes the structure that supports user interactions within a design
Usability Engineering
- Aims to make software easier to learn and use
Minimize Learning Time for Users
- A principle of usability engineering
Reduce the User's Memory Load
- Involves incorporating features that help users access information quickly
Make the Interface Consistent
- Use the same layout and terminology across all components to help users know what to expect
Successful Project Management
- Ensures software is delivered on time, within budget, and meets requirements
Risk Management
- Involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks
Teamwork in Software Development
- Essential because most software projects cannot be completed by one person alone
Functional Requirements
- Specify what the system should do
- Define specific behaviors or functions
Non-Functional Requirements
- Specify the quality attributes of a system
- Include performance, usability, reliability, maintainability
Consistency
- Means that different requirements do not conflict with each other and can coexist without issues within the same system
