Assignment: Computer System Architecture
Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
Use the library and Internet to research software architectures and development methodologies, and respond to the following questions:
• What is 1 of the specific software architectures or development methodologies that you have discovered, and how does it support the development methodology and processes?
• Include examples of how the major parts of the software architecture help make specific software development processes more efficient.
The first project resulted in an overview of the software development activities in your organization. The next step in the development of a software architecture strategy is to evaluate these activities and select a development process to recommend to the organization for use in its software development projects. In addition, you need to match the development process with a software architecture that will support the development methodology. When these 2 aspects of software development are properly matched, the result will be greater efficiencies and higher quality applications.
For this assignment, you will continue your work on Software Architecture Strategy document by adding a section on the development processes that are used in the company and recommendations that you will make to improve the processes. You will also recommend appropriate architectures for the software that will match well with the development processes.
Assignment Details
Complete the following in a document of 3-4 pages:
• Update the Information Software Architecture Strategy document title page with new date and project name.
• Update the previously completed sections based on instructor feedback.
• Complete the following sections:
o Development Processes
- Summarize the development processes that are currently used in the organization.
- Describe the development methodology and processes that you would recommend for the organization. These might be similar to the processes already in use if you justify them.
• Add the subtitle: Archetecture
o Explain how the selection of an architectural design would impact the type of development process that is used in the organization.
o Describe how a specific architectural design would support the recommended development methodology.
o Justify your selection of an architecture based on the benefits of the architecture when matched to the selected development methodology.
