| Activity 25 | Modular Decomposition Diagram |
Show how the architecture is composed of varying abstractions that come together to create a coherent whole. A modular decomposition diagram is a simple tree diagram that shows how varying granularities of abstraction are related to one another. The word decomposition in this context means to break into smaller pieces, not to rot.
Modular decomposition is a general technique that can be used in many circumstances—from code package organization to organization charts to work breakdown structures used in project planning.
Benefits
- Uniquely name concepts at different granularities of abstraction.
- Map refinements in the architecture.
- Use to analyze organizational alignment with the system’s composition.
- Reduce ...
