Book description
A Comprehensive Process for Defining Software Architectures
That Work
A good software architecture is the foundation of any successful
software system. Effective architecting requires a clear
understanding of organizational roles, artifacts, activities
performed, and the optimal sequence for performing those
activities.
With The Process of Software Architecting, Peter
Eeles and Peter Cripps provide guidance on these challenges by
covering all aspects of architecting a software system, introducing
best-practice techniques that apply in every environment, whether
based on Java EE, Microsoft .NET, or other technologies. Eeles and
Cripps first illuminate concepts related to software architecture,
including architecture documentation and reusable assets. Next,
they present an accessible, task-focused guided tour through a
typical project, focusing on the architect’s role, with
common issues illuminated and addressed throughout. Finally, they
conclude with a set of best practices that can be applied to
today’s most complex systems.
You will come away from this book understanding
The role of the architect in a typical software development project
How to document a software architecture to satisfy the needs of different stakeholders
The applicability of reusable assets in the process of architecting
The role of the architect with respect to requirements definition
The derivation of an architecture based on a set of requirements
The relevance of architecting in creating complex systems
The Process of Software Architecting will be an
indispensable resource for every working and aspiring software
architect—and for every project manager and other software
professional who needs to understand how architecture influences
their work.
