Ă propos de ce livre
Document the architecture of your software easily with this highly practical, open-source template.Key Featuresâą Get to grips with leveraging the features of arc42 to create insightful documentsâą Learn the concepts of software architecture documentation through real-world examplesâą Discover techniques to create compact, helpful, and easy-to-read documentationBook DescriptionWhen developers document the architecture of their systems, they often invent their own specific ways of articulating structures, designs, concepts, and decisions. What they need is a template that enables simple and efficient software architecture documentation. arc42 by Example shows how it's done through several real-world examples.Each example in the book, whether it is a chess engine, a huge CRM system, or a cool web system, starts with a brief description of the problem domain and the quality requirements. Then, you'll discover the system context with all the external interfaces. You'll dive into an overview of the solution strategy to implement the building blocks and runtime scenarios. The later chapters also explain various cross-cutting concerns and how they affect other aspects of a program.What you will learnâą Utilize arc42 to document a system's physical infrastructureâą Learn how to identify a system's scope and boundariesâą Break a system down into building blocks and illustrate the relationships between themâą Discover how to describe the runtime behavior of a systemâą Know how to document design decisions and their reasonsâą Explore the risks and technical debt of your systemWho this book is forThis book is for software developers and solutions architects who are looking for an easy, open-source tool to document their systems.
