The SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF) is a methodology and toolset by the German multinational software company SAP. It is based on The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF). The TOGAF Architecture Development Method is a generic method for architecture development, which is designed to deal with most system and organizational ...
Illustration of the 4+1 Architectural View Model. 4+1 is a view model used for "describing the architecture of software-intensive systems, based on the use of multiple, concurrent views". [1] The views are used to describe the system from the viewpoint of different stakeholders, such as end-users, developers, system engineers, and project managers.
The TEAF Matrix of Views and Perspectives.. A view model or viewpoints framework in systems engineering, software engineering, and enterprise engineering is a framework which defines a coherent set of views to be used in the construction of a system architecture, software architecture, or enterprise architecture.
The C4 model documents the architecture of a software system, by showing multiple points of view [5] that explain the decomposition of a system into containers and components, the relationship between these elements, and, where appropriate, the relation with its users. [3] The viewpoints are organized according to their hierarchical level: [2] [3]
Software visualization [1] [2] or software visualisation refers to the visualization of information of and related to software systems—either the architecture of its source code or metrics of their runtime behavior—and their development process by means of static, interactive or animated 2-D or 3-D [3] visual representations of their structure, [4] execution, [5] behavior, [6] and evolution.
The first use of the term "enterprise architecture" is often incorrectly attributed to John Zachman's 1987 A framework for information systems architecture. [12] The first publication to use it was instead a National Institute of Standards (NIST) Special Publication [13] on the challenges of information system integration.
Enterprise architecture regards the enterprise as a large and complex system or system of systems. [3] To manage the scale and complexity of this system, an architectural framework provides tools and approaches that help architects abstract from the level of detail at which builders work, to bring enterprise design tasks into focus and produce valuable architecture description documentation.
The architecture diagram provides an overview of an entire system, identifying the main components that would be developed for the product and their interfaces. The HLD can use non-technical to mildly technical terms which should be understandable to the administrators of the system.
