[epf-dev] Re: [Bug 135698] Add Architecture as an input workproduct to d

[Mark.Dickson@xxxxxxxxx]

Well, now that's 2 of you. Scott Ambler said the same thing, so I will consider myself out-voted (see my earlier post in reply to Scott on epf-dev).

My view is that there is always an architecture - it's just a matter of how fully anf formally (or informally) defined it is. Architecture will, in some way, always inform or constrain design activities - otherwise, design is happening in some abstract sense, without context. I simple terms, this is just saying that you have some idea of what you're going to do before you do it).

The example I gave previously is that the simple decision to use object technology (including design techniques and principles) is an architecturally significant one, so forms part of the architecture.

Still, it's looks as though this may just be my view :-)

Cheers

Agree, but Architecture should be an optional input, as in some cases there may
be no Architecture (described). I can also imagine situations where we may want
to describe the architecture once we have designed and implemented the
solution.
