Software Architecture Overview
Architectural Design, Abstraction,
Explicit Architecture, Box and Line Diagrams, and Architectural Models Architectural Design
• Defines the structure of the system.
• Identifies major components and their relationships. • Ensures the system meets both functional and non-functional requirements. Architectural Abstraction
• Simplifies complexity by hiding details.
• Focuses on components and interactions, not internal workings. • Provides multiple levels of abstraction for different stakeholders. Advantages of Explicit Architecture
• Enhances communication among stakeholders.
• Improves system analysis and understanding. • Facilitates reuse and maintenance. • Enables better planning and decision-making. Box and Line Diagrams
• Visual representation of system architecture.
• Boxes represent components; lines represent interactions. • Helps in understanding system structure and behavior. Use of Architectural Models
• Supports design decisions and documentation.
• Validates system requirements and constraints. • Facilitates communication among developers and stakeholders. • Examples: layered models, client-server models, microservices.
