Before explaining the system architecture design, it is necessary to supplement the concepts related to the architecture. Therefore, this blog post mainly describes the concepts and relationships related to the architecture, architect, and architecture design. This is the basis of system architecture design. After having the knowledge of this, we can further understand the role of architects in the software development process, how can architects compile architecture documents to meet the needs of different stakeholders.

Now, we use defined concepts to understand some related terms in architecture design.

Architecture: Architecture is the basic organization of a system in its components, their relationships with each other, their relationships with the environment, and the principles guiding its design and development.

System: A system is a set of components that organize a specific function or a group of functions. The system contains individual applications, systems in the traditional sense, subsystems, systems, product lines, product groups, the entire enterprise and other sets of interest.

Architecture Design: An activity that defines, writes, maintains, improves, and verifies the correct implementation of an architecture.

Architecture Description: describes the document set of an architecture.

Architecture: A detailed solution to common problems.

Architecture decision-making: deliberate design decisions about a software system overall or one or more of its core components. These decisions determine non-functional features and quality indicators.

Enterprise Architecture: When consistent with business strategies and information needs, provides guidance on a set of principles, guidelines, policies, models, standards, and processes for selecting, creating, and implementing solutions consistent with future business directions.

Through the above definition, we understand some related concepts in the architecture. Through these concepts, we can better understand what architecture is, what architecture is, and what role architects play in architecture decision-making, then, we will illustrate the relationship between architecture, architect, and architecture design in a diagram.

Architecture Description:

The architecture defines the structure of components, and also defines the interaction between these components at the same time. For example, in an order management system, we have customer components, account management components, and order entity components. we can define the call process (interaction) between these components through a time sequence diagram ). Although the architecture defines the structure and behavior, it does not focus on defining all the structures and behaviors. It only focuses on elements that are considered very important.

Architecture features:

The architecture must balance the needs of stakeholders.

The architecture details decisions based on rational evidence.

The architecture follows an architectural style.

The architecture is affected by its environment.

The architecture affects the structure of the development team.

Architect's statement:

An architect is a person, team, or organization responsible for the system architecture.

Architect features:

Architects are technical leaders.

The role of the architect may be played by a team.

The architect understands the software development process.

Architects have knowledge in the business field.

Architects have technical knowledge.

Architects master design skills.

Architects have programming skills.

Architects are excellent communication personnel.

Architects make decisions.

Architects are aware of organizational policies.

Architects are negotiating experts.

About Architecture Design

See the preceding definition.

Advantages of Architecture Design:

Architecture Design solves system quality problems.

Architecture design facilitates consensus.

The architecture design supports the planning process.

Architecture Design Promotes the integrity of the architecture.

Architecture Design helps to manage complexity.

Architecture Design provides the foundation for reuse.

Architecture design reduces maintenance costs.

The architecture design supports impact analysis.

This article is just a rough introduction to the concepts and features of architecture design, which is a prerequisite for us to enter the architecture. If you want to know a lot about other Architecture Design Aspects, please stay tuned to this site, O (∩ _ ∩) O thank you!
