| Question No. 1
Find four or five definitions of software architecture in books, or on websites. See if you can distill their essential differences and their essential similarities. What do you like and dislike about each one.
Question No. 2
Author, in the article, highlights the Standish Group’s “Chaos Report” of 1994 which suggested that only 16.2% of software projects were completed on-time and on budget. However the figure was increased to 29% in 2004. Although the increase in success rate was significant but still dismal when compared with traditional engineering deplanes.
Discuss at least Two factors (among those discussed in article) that you think, can help further to bridge the gap (i.e. to increase the success rate).
Question No. 3
For the definition taken from reference no. 4 in the article:
“The structure or structures of the system, which comprise software components, the externally visible properties of those components, and the relationships among them”
Author claims that this definition focuses only on the internal aspects of a system. Can you device a precise definition of your own that covers all/maximum aspects and characteristics of software architecture.
