Architecture Tradeoffs Analysis Method Online Mini Bootcamp

 In this mini-boot-camp students will be introduced to formal methodologies for software architecture design and evaluation. In the real world, software is a complex system of components and modules. If you are tasked with evaluating an existing architecture or designing a new system from scratch, the task can be overwhelming. This course will introduce you to the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method where you will learn how to develop quality attributes, evaluate existing or proposed architectures against such attributes, and make sure that your design meets the business needs.

Objectives

• What is an architecture?
• Why architecture analysis is important
• Introduction to quality attributes and as they relate to software architectures
• Tradeoffs and analysis of quality attribute
• Architecture Documentation
• ATAM evaluation
  • the steps of the ATAM
  • the roles and responsibilities of the various participants
  • the artifacts created during the evaluation

Prerequisite

This course is designed for experienced software developers who are new to the role of Software Architect, are in the process of designing a new software system, or need to evaluate an existing software architecture against some business requirements.
