ARCHITECTURE ESTIMATION FOR LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT SOFTWARE
С. П. Орлов, Andrei Vishnyakov · 2010
Software architecture design and estimation play the key role for logistics and transport software development process. One of the design approaches is to reuse the architectural styles and patterns, which express a fundamental structural organization of software systems and its behaviour. The usage of the proven and tested solutions allows us to increase the software quality and reduce potential risks. In this paper, the most suitable architectural styles and patterns are chosen for the typical logistics and transport software. For the evaluation of architectural styles and patterns the metrics such as Functional Points, Coupling and Cohesion are used. Based on these metrics the criterion of efficiency has been obtained, which helps us to evaluate and select the optimal architectural styles and patterns for specified logistics or transport software.
