Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Apply fundamental principles and guidelines for software architecture design, including the selection and implementation of appropriate architectural styles, patterns, and frameworks. Utilize methods, techniques, and tools to describe software architecture and effectively document design rationale. Demonstrate proficiency in software architecture design and evaluation processes, considering factors such as scalability, performance, and maintainability. Design and evaluate software architectures for cutting-edge technologies like cloud computing, service-oriented architecture, and mobile computing. Employ architectural styles and utilize architecture description languages (e.g., XCD) and UML to model software architectures. Specify software architectures to address non-functional properties, such as security, reliability, and usability.

Course Content:

The content of the course consists of Meaning and History of Software Architecture, Project Management, Metrics, Project Planning, Analysis Concepts, Analysis Modelin, Risk Management in Software Projects, Architecture in Agile, Documenting Software Architectures – UML, Programming Paradigms, SOLID Design Principles 1, SOLID Design Principles 2, Independence concept in Software Architecture, Service Oriented Architecture, ServerLess Architecture and Cloud native Applications, Security & DevOps.
