Study Notes
Fundamentals of Software Architecture
- Every software application has an architecture.
- A software application can have more than one architect/architecture, which can lead to conflicting design decisions.
Definition of Software Architecture
- Software architecture refers to a set of principal design decisions made about a system.
- It is a characterization of the essence and essentials of the application.
When are Principal Design Decisions Made
- Traditionally, principal design decisions are made after the requirements gathering phase and during the design phase.
- However, software architecture decisions can be made throughout the development activities, not limited to just the design phase.
Who Makes Principal Design Decisions
- The primary individuals responsible for making principal design decisions are architects and designers.
- However, others may also be involved in the decision-making process.
