This lecture we focus on the software architecture and how this is derived from the Non-Functional Requirements. We see in particular the way in which the software architecture is considered by applying the Attribute-Driven Design (ADD) method.

Lecture

• Quality Attributes and Architecture

Suggested Read

• The Attribute-Driven Design (ADD) Method (doc): documentation on how to link NFRs to the Software Architecture
• Slides about The Software Architecture in Agile (not covered during lecture, so no part of the exam, still contains more details about architectural views, and how they are considered in the context in agile methodologies)
