Software Architecture in Practice, 4th Edition

At a more technical level, the drive for better testability and deployability (particularly testability) encourages engineers to design systems that separate essential and accidental complexity more effectively. This in turn keeps your options more open for changes, even quite radical changes, in other architectural properties of the system. This a

Too many architecture characteristics leads to generic solutions that are trying to solve every business problem, and those architectures rarely work because the design becomes unwieldy. This suggests that architects should strive to design architecture to be as iterative as possible. If you can make changes to the architecture more easily, you can

In the real world, the systems we build are part of complex adaptive systems that encompass developers, users, and customers, as well as their environments and organizational contexts. This reality calls for a more dynamic, almost organic approach to architecture and design, one that allows you to learn as you go and adapt your software to ever-cha

1: Architect products; evolve from projects to products. Architecting products is more efficient than just designing point solutions to projects and focuses the team on its customers. Principle 2: Focus on quality attributes, not on functional requirements. Quality attribute requirements drive the architecture. Principle 3: Delay design decisions u
