19/20 Must-Know Principles in Software Architecture 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥/𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 This notion is the foundation of the Agile Software Development Manifesto, which proposes that software systems be produced incrementally and iteratively. That is, with each iteration, the software system is improved and made live. Software architecture is based on a set of basic principles that apply to all types of software systems. This is merely the fundamentals of software architecture; the goal is to acquire an overview of this theory and then learn in depth. *** Every day, I strive to improve by 1%, and in order to do so, I study extensively on personal growth, leadership, and technology. If you want to grow with me, you can do so by following me. #systemdesign #Technology #LearningJourney #SoftwareEngineering #DistributedSystems

💻🚀 Iteration speed in software development and systems is crucial for staying competitive in today's fast-paced tech landscape. Faster iteration allows teams to deliver value to customers more frequently, adapt to changing requirements, and quickly address bugs and issues. To accelerate iteration speed, consider implementing these key practices: 1. Automated Tests: Writing automated tests ensures that changes can be quickly validated, reducing the risk of introducing bugs and allowing developers to refactor code with confidence. By automating tests, teams can catch regressions early and maintain a high level of code quality. 2. Clean Design: Emphasizing clean and modular design principles enables developers to understand and modify code more easily. A well-designed system reduces the time spent on troubleshooting and debugging, ultimately speeding up the development process. 3. CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment): Implementing CI/CD pipelines automates the build, testing, and deployment processes, streamlining the path from code changes to production. This allows teams to deliver updates to customers rapidly and frequently, increasing the feedback loop and facilitating continuous improvement. By adopting these practices, teams can optimize their iteration speed, enabling them to iterate quickly, deliver value to customers efficiently, and stay ahead of the competition. #SystemDesign #SoftwareDevelopment #IterationSpeed 🚀🔧

Advice to My Past Self: Getting Started in Software Architecture When getting started in software architecture, focus on • Establish a trusting working relationship with your colleagues (both on the business side and the development side). • Understand the business model and strategy behind the software you are building • Identify the architectural drivers (key requirements & constraints) that will have the most impact on your architectural decisions • Learn the priority and associated risks of these decisions (“When do they need to be made?”) Only then should you start thinking about breaking your software into parts and deciding on technologies. #SoftwareArchitecture #GettingStarted #Focus #Tip P.S.

📚 Delving into Carl Wiegers' "Software Requirements Engineering" some time ago left a lasting imprint on my approach to software development. 🚀 🔍 Wiegers' astute exploration of requirements engineering is a beacon for professionals in the field. His emphasis on the pivotal role of well-defined requirements throughout the software development lifecycle provides a solid foundation for success. 🌐 What sets this book apart is its pragmatic touch. Wiegers seamlessly integrates real-world examples and case studies, offering a resource that resonates with both seasoned experts and those new to the field. The hands-on guidance makes it indispensable for a nuanced understanding of requirements. 🛠️ Beyond theory, Wiegers addresses the practicalities of gathering, documenting, and validating requirements. His insights into communication and collaboration within cross-functional teams are especially pertinent in the agile development landscape. 👥 "Software Requirements Engineering" stands out as a repository of wisdom in the realm of software development literature. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone involved in software development, particularly those engaged in the intricate art of gathering requirements. 🙏 Hat tip to Karl Wiegers for contributing his expertise and crafting an invaluable resource for the software development community! 🚀 #softwareengineering #requirementsengineering #mustread #agiledevelopment #techwisdom #bussinessanalyst #systemanalyst

A Software Design and Architecture course teaches fundamental principles, patterns, and best practices for building robust, scalable, and maintainable software systems. Students learn design principles (SOLID), architectural patterns (MVC, microservices), and methodologies (agile, waterfall). Upon completion, students can design and evaluate software architectures, apply design patterns, and develop scalable systems.🎊🚀 #softwaredesign #softwarearchitecture

In "The Software Architect Elevator," Gregor Hohpe discusses the impact of poor quality, fear, and confidence in software development. Automation is key to addressing these challenges. Immediate Feedback: Automated tests and CI/CD pipelines provide instant feedback, catching issues early and reducing fear of breaking builds. Consistency: Automation ensures consistent, reliable results, eliminating the uncertainty of manual testing. Speed: Automated processes run faster, enabling quick feedback and frequent iterations, fostering continuous improvement. Confidence: A robust set of automated tests allows developers to innovate with confidence, leading to higher quality code. This is why I've been a huge driver of test automation. Integrating automation into development workflows creates a more efficient, confident, and high-quality environment. #SoftwareDevelopment #Automation #DevOps #ContinuousIntegration

The PERFECT software architecture pattern does not exist! Each one of them has DIFFERENT capabilities. - Some will offer ease of development. - Some could be scalable and agile. - Some are better at performance. So, focus on your business goals and developmental expertise. And align the software architecture pattern with them. #softwarearchitecture #scalability #appxperts #softwaredevelopment

Requirements Gathering is an important step in the software development process but doesn't solve every problem. An interesting observation I have made over the years in working as a software developer is that it is important to not only define your software requirements well and acceptance criteria but also how you plan to implement it. Having a high level step by step plan added to your user story shows stakeholders and especially your software architect how you plan to implement the feature or bug fix which can help reduce rework later on.
