课程介绍

This course introduces the basic concepts, techniques and methodologies of software architecture. It describes the quality attribute scenarios from the standpoints of software architecture, and specially explain the quality attributes including the availability, interoperability, modifiability, performance, and security. After introducing the common patterns and tactics of software architecture, it covers the quality attribute analysis models and methods. Moreover, the course explains the architecture and agile project, describes the roles that software architecture plays in the life cycles of software projects including requirement analysis, design, implementation and test, evaluation, and so on. It finally introduces the design principles and tactics of software architecture in cloud computing.
