Software architecture is an important factor in ensuring the success of any software project. It provides a systematically designed framework that ensures the fulfilment of quality requirements such as expandability, flexibility, performance, and time-to-market. A software architect’s job is to reconcile customer requirements with the available technical options and constraints while designing an overall structure that allows all components of the system to interact smoothly. This book gives you all the basic know-how you need to begin designing scalable system software architectures. It goes into detail on all the most important terms and concepts and how they relate to other IT practices. Following on from the basics, it describes the techniques and methods required for the planning, documentation, and quality management of software architectures. It details the role, the tasks, and the work environment of a software architect, as well as looking at how the job itself is embedded in company and project structures. The book also addresses the tools required for the job. This edition has been updated to conform to the ISO/IEC 25010 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 standards. It also puts increased emphasis on domain-driven design, and looks at contemporary architectures such as microservices. The book is based on the International Software Architecture Qualification Board’s Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Foundation Level (CPSA-F) syllabus, version 4.1.1. (July 2017).

Grundlagenwissen nicht nur für Softwarearchitekt*innen ... Techniken und Methoden für Entwurf, Dokumentation und Qualitätssicherung Mit praxisnahen Beispielen, Prüfungsaufgaben und Glossar Aktuell zum iSAQB-Lehrplan Version 2023.1 Softwarearchitektur bildet einen wesentlichen Erfolgsfaktor für Softwareprojekte. Sie stellt im Sinne einer systematischen Konstruktion sicher, dass Qualitätsanforderungen wie beispielsweise Erweiterbarkeit, Flexibilität, Performance oder Time-to-Market erfüllt werden können. "Basiswissen für Softwarearchitekten" vermittelt das notwendige Wissen und Fähigkeiten, um eine dem Problem angemessene Softwarearchitektur für Systeme zu entwerfen. Es behandelt die wichtigen Begriffe und Konzepte der Softwarearchitektur sowie deren Bezug zu anderen Disziplinen. Darauf aufbauend werden die grundlegenden Techniken und Methoden für den Entwurf, die Dokumentation und die Qualitätssicherung von Softwarearchitekturen beschrieben. Ausführlich behandelt werden zudem die Rolle, die Aufgaben, das Umfeld und die Arbeitsumgebung des Softwarearchitekten, ebenso dessen Einbettung in die umfassende Organisations- und Projektstruktur. Das Buch orientiert sich am Lehrplan zum "Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Foundation Level" (CPSA-F) des International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB). Die 5. Auflage bietet eine Aktualisierung auf Basis des CPSA-F-Lehrplans in der Version 2023.1.
