ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 — Question 47 of 80
Software Architectural Design — transform requirements into top-level structure and components.
Software architectural design takes the gathered requirements and produces a high-level design that identifies:
- •The major software components (modules, subsystems)
- •The relationships and interfaces between them
- •The overall structure of the system
Why not others:
- (a) Arranging requirements in incremental steps as a chart — relates to project planning or WBS, not architectural design
- (b) Describing specifications line-by-line — this is detailed design, which comes after architectural design
- (c) Obtaining customer opinion and deciding specifications — this is requirements definition, which comes before design
Key rule: Architectural design = high-level structure + component identification. Detailed design = line-by-line logic of each component.
