About this service

Summary

Software architectural design is defining the structure and organization of a software system, focusing on how its various components interact and integrate to meet both functional and non-functional requirements. It serves as a blueprint for both development and future scalability, ensuring that the system is robust, maintainable, and aligned with business goals.

What's included

  • Software architectural designe

    The deliverables include the following: -Architecture Document: A comprehensive document detailing the software architecture, including an overview of the system, architectural patterns, and design principles. It outlines how different components interact and the rationale behind architectural decisions. -Component Diagrams: Visual representations of the software’s structure, illustrating the various components, their relationships, and dependencies. These diagrams help in understanding the overall system architecture. Interface Specifications: Detailed descriptions of the interfaces between different architectural components, including protocols, data formats, and communication methods, ensuring seamless integration. -Requirements Traceability Matrix: A matrix that maps software requirements to corresponding architectural components, ensuring that all requirements are addressed in the design. -Deployment Diagram: A representation of how the software components will be deployed in the production environment, including servers, networks, and other hardware. -Data Models: Documentation of data structures, including entity-relationship diagrams or schema definitions, that define how data will be stored, accessed, and manipulated. -Non-functional Requirements Analysis: A section that outlines performance, security, scalability, and other non-functional requirements that the architecture must satisfy. -Design and Coding Guidelines: Recommendations and standards for coding practices and architectural principles that should be followed throughout the development process. -Prototype or Proof of Concept: In some cases, a prototype or proof of concept may be delivered to validate architectural decisions and demonstrate feasibility. -Documentation of Architectural Decisions: A log of the key architectural decisions made during the design process, along with the reasoning behind them, to facilitate future reference and updates.
