Software Architecture in Practice (SEI Series in Software Engineering)

Product Description
The Definitive, Practical, Proven Guide to Architecting Modern Software--Fully Updated with New Content on Mobility, the Cloud, Energy Management, DevOps, Quantum Computing, and More\nUpdated with eleven new chapters,
Software Architecture in Practice, Fourth Edition, thoroughly explains what software architecture is, why it's important, and how to design, instantiate, analyze, evolve, and manage it in disciplined and effective ways.\nThree renowned software architects cover the entire lifecycle, presenting practical guidance, expert methods, and tested models for use in any project, no matter how complex. You'll learn how to use architecture to address accelerating growth in requirements, system size, and abstraction, and to manage emergent quality attributes as systems are dynamically combined in new ways.\nWith insights for utilizing architecture to optimize key quality attributes--including performance, modifiability, security, availability, interoperability, testability, usability, deployability, and more--this guide explains how to manage and refine existing architectures, transform them to solve new problems, and build reusable architectures that become strategic business assets.\nDiscover how architecture in uences (and is influenced by) technical environments, project lifecycles, business profiles, and your own practices
Leverage proven patterns, interfaces, and practices for optimizing quality through architecture
Architect for mobility, the cloud, machine learning, and quantum computing
Design for increasingly crucial attributes such as energy efficiency and safety
Scale systems by discovering architecturally significant influences, using DevOps and deployment pipelines, and managing architecture debt
Understand architecture's role in the organization, so you can deliver more value\nRegister your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available. See inside book for details.
