In software engineering, active reviews for intermediate designs (ARID) is a method to evaluate software architectures, especially on an intermediate level, i.e. for non-finished architectures. [1] It combines aspects from scenario-based design review techniques, such as the architecture tradeoff analysis method (ATAM) and the software ...
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]
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.
Attribute-driven design [1] [2] (also called ADD or Attribute-driven design method) is a methodology to create software architectures that takes into account the quality attributes of the software. It was previously known as the Architecture Based Design Method (or ABD), but due to trademark issues the name was changed to Attribute-driven ...
Insurance claim process depicted in ArchiMate. Archimate enables modelling in different layers. ArchiMate (/ ˈ ɑːr k ɪ m eɪ t / AR-ki-mayt) is an open and independent enterprise architecture modeling language to support the description, analysis and visualization of architecture within and across business domains [1] in an unambiguous way.
Archi is a free and open-source visual-modelling and design tool for creating ArchiMate models and modelling sketches. Archi was initially funded between 2010 and 2012 by Jisc as part of a national project aimed at supporting a programme of Enterprise Architecture in the UK higher education sector.
The software engineering community uses an architecture description language as a computer language to create a description of a software architecture. In the case of a so-called technical architecture , the architecture must be communicated to software developers; a functional architecture is communicated to various stakeholders and users.
Model-driven architecture (MDA) is a software design approach for the development of software systems. It provides a set of guidelines for the structuring of specifications, which are expressed as models. Model Driven Architecture is a kind of domain engineering, and supports model-driven engineering of software systems.
