Architects are abs-tractors, we separate details from general things. e..g UI or database is details Good architecture is allowed major decision to be differed. Job of an architecture is not to make decisions but to differed the decisions. Good architecture maximizes the number of decisions NOT made. Architects are responsible for Form and Structure while engineers are concerned with structure and functions. What activities an Architects do Act as a true trusted advisor & value-based professional. The solution ar...

Definition & Delivery of the software architecture

Image
Definition of the software architecture The architecture definition process seems fairly straightforward. All you have to do is figure out what the requirements are and design a system that satisfies them. But in reality it's not that simple and the software architecture role can vary wildly depending on how engaged you are and how seriously you view your role. As the following diagram shows, the architecture definition part of the role can be broken down further into a number of different elements. Management of non-functional requirements : Software projects often get caught up on asking users what features they want, but rarely ask them what non-functional requirements (or system qualities) they  need . Sometimes the stakeholders will tell us that "the system must be fast", but that's far too subjective. Non-functional requirements need to be specific, measurable, achievable and testable if we are going to satisfy them. Most of the non-functional re...

What is the role of a software architect?

Image
Are you a software architect? The line between software development and software architecture is a tricky one. Some people will tell you that it doesn't exist and that architecture is simply an extension of the design process undertaken by developers. Others will make out it's a massive gaping chasm that can only be crossed by lofty developers who believe you must always abstract your abstractions and not get bogged down by those pesky implementation details. As always, there's a pragmatic balance somewhere in the middle, but it does raise the interesting question of how you move from one to the other.  Read more... What should a hands-on software architect do? Becoming a software architect isn't something that simply happens overnight or with a promotion. It's a role, not a rank. It's an evolutionary process where you'll gradually gain the experience and confidence that you need to undertake the role. While the term "software developer" ...

Developer Quality Attributes

The quality of software depends on many inter-related attributes of the software.  Some of the more important ones are: One attribute that I think is very important but I have never seen mentioned before is what I call  debugability  or how easy it is to track down the cause of a bug.  The debugging process consists of three steps: 1. detecting the presence of a bug (aided by verifiability) 2. tracking down the root cause of the bug (aided by debugability) 3. changing the code to fix the (aided by modifiability) Sometimes the second step can be the most time-consuming; this is common in poorly written C code.  In C debugability can be greatly improved by such things as assertions (which also improves verifiability, modifiability, reliability, etc).  Other environments can greatly improve debugability, such as using Delphi or C# (w/o unsafe code). correctness the extent to which the soft- ware does what it is meant to reliability how often it cr...
