On Software Architecture Processes and their Use in Practice
Perla Velasco-Elizondo, Humberto Cervantes · Advances in systems analysis, software engineering, and high performance computing book series · 2014
Software architecture is a very important software artifact, as it describes a system’s high-level structure and provides the basis for its development. Software architecture development is not a trivial task; to this end, a number of methods have been proposed to try to systematize their related processes to ensure predictability, repeatability, and high quality. In this chapter, the authors review some of these methods, discuss some specific problems that they believe complicate their adoption, and present one practical experience where the problems are addressed successfully.
