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.
