What is Software Architecture?
Architecture serves as a blueprint
for a system.

It provides an abstraction to
manage the system complexity and
establish a communication and
coordination mechanism among
components.

It is a plan that gives enough detail


to produce a software design.

Goals of Software Architecture
The primary goal of the architecture is to identify requirements
that affect the structure of the application.
Expose the structure of the system, but hide its implementation details.

Realize all the use-cases and scenarios.

Try to address the requirements of various stakeholders.

Handle both functional and quality requirements.

Reduce the goal of ownership and improve the organization’s market position.

Improve quality and functionality offered by the system.

Improve external confidence in either the organization or system.
