Description

Principles and Tactics

We apply principles and tactics to the architecture of our system. We choose the two most
important architectural principles, which will guide architectural decision making. We also decide
for specific tactics that help us to achieve the desired system qualities.
1) Which 2 architectural principles are the most important ones in your opinion when
developing the system architecture? Why did you decide for these principles? How do the
two selected principles help in achieving the 2 desired system qualities that you selected
in Assignment 6?
2) Based on the diagram of slide deck A9, which shows architectural principles support each
other, create a variant of this diagram for the 2 principles that you selected. Show in this
diagram how other principles can support these two principles. Annotate the relationship
arrows in your variant of the diagram with specific ideas/solutions that you will apply
when implementing the principles in the architecture.
3) Select 1 tactic for each of the 2 quality attributes that you selected in Assignment 6. Select
the tactics from the collection of tactics in the book by Bass, Clements, and Kazman. For
each tactic, discuss briefly how it would be implemented in the system and describe how
the tactic supports the quality attribute.
