Configuring the Physical Architecture Flashcards
captures the structural representation of the design solution, as well as the engineering drawing, diagrams, models, from which the solution was derived.
Physical Architecture
establishes the arrangement and integration of relationships of structural units and components.
Structural Design Solution
3 ELEMENTS OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN SOLUTION
- Software Structural Design Solution
- Software Integration Strategy
- Software Operational Environment
is an element of structural design solution that identifies the software product configuration, structural assemblages, software integration strategy, and interface that characterize the software design.
Software Structural Design Solution
3 PARTS OF SOFTWARE STRUCTURAL DESIGN SOLUTION
- Software Product Configuration
- Structural Units
- Structural Component
part of software structural design solution that identifies the structural units and components that are assembled and integrated.
Software Product Configuration
represents the fundamental design elements or software building block.
Structural Units
represents compound software building blocks comprised of two or more structural units or lower-level components.
Structural Component
is an element of software structural design solution that identify the sequence of assembly ad integration task.
Software Integration Strategy
2 TYPES OF ASSEMBLAGES IN SOFTWARE INTEGRATION STRATEGY
- Structural Assemblages
- Graphical User Assemblage
represents the assembly and integration tasks that generate a structural component.
Structural Assemblages
Composed of only the graphical-bases display and components.
Graphical User Assemblage
an element of structural design solution that identifies the computing equipment, external systems, and related software application of the software product.
Software Operational Environment
3 TERMS UNDER SOFTWARE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
- Computing Environment
- Interface Relationship
- External Interface
the set of computing technology resources.
Computing Environment
identifies the agreements and commitments for the software product.
Interface Relationship
identifies the data exchanges protocol and format for data shared among interfacing system and application.
External Interface
an external system or software application that the software product under development must interface with.
External Systems
are identified from the set of functional units specified by the functional architecture.
Structural Units
8 BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS (Model Design Presentation)
- Functional Decomposition Diagram
- Operational Model
- Execution Timeline
- Entity-Relationship Diagram
- Interface Block Diagram
- Structural Configuration Diagram
- Engineering Assembly Diagram
- Software Integration Diagram
depiction of the functional hierarchy.
Functional Decomposition Diagram
depiction of the operational or business process.
Operational Model
a depiction of the software product or process execution timeline.
Execution Timeline
relationship of the physical interface to other element in the architecture.
Entity-Relationship Diagram
a depiction of the physical interface.
Interface Block Diagram
depiction of structural elements.
Structural Configuration Diagram
a variation of structural configuration diagram that identifies the structural sub elements.
Engineering Assembly Diagram
a variation of structural configuration diagram that identifies the version, file name, location, etc. of each structural element.
Software Integration Diagram
is any informative gathering exercise where two or more design alternatives are analyzed.
Trade Study
can only be provided by extensive design evaluation of evert failure mode that may be possible.
Software Dependably
is used to generate a mockup of an engineering assembly for the purpose of evaluating the performance, usability, and aesthetic association.
Software Prototyping
4 PRIMARY FORM OF PROTOTYPING
- Rapid Prototyping
- Evolutionary Prototyping
- Incremental Prototyping
- Extreme Prototyping
a form of prototyping that creates a working model of various parts of the software product at a very early stage, after relatively short investigation.
Rapid Prototyping
a form of prototyping that creates a robust prototype in a structure manner and constantly refining it.
Evolutionary Prototyping
a form of prototyping that which the final product is built as separate prototype that are integrated into an overall product configuration.
Incremental Prototyping
a form of prototyping that is used for developing web applications.
Extreme Prototyping
3 THINGS TO EVALUATE (Software Product Performance Evaluation)
- Design responsiveness
- Design Dependability
- Resource Utilization
