The service involves: 1. Review the proposed solution architecture for a.) Correctness w.r.t business problems, size and scale. b.) Cost Reduction c.) Performance d.) Security e.) Standards Conformance 2. Enable the customer to close the identify the gaps and track to closure 3. Available for several programming languages (C++, Python, Java, Ruby) 4. Deliverables - Evaluation Report - Suggested Roadmap to closure of gaps Software architecture refers to the fundamental structures of a software system and the discipline of creating such structures and systems. Each structure comprises software elements, relations among them, and properties of both elements and relations. The architecture of a software system is a metaphor, analogous to the architecture of a building. It functions as a blueprint for the system and the developing project, laying out the tasks necessary to be executed by the design teams. Software architecture is about making fundamental structural choices that are costly to change once implemented. Software architecture choices include specific structural options from possibilities in the design of the software. For example, the systems that controlled the Space Shuttle launch vehicle had the requirement of being very fast and very reliable. Therefore, an appropriate real-time computing language would need to be chosen. Additionally, to satisfy the need for reliability the choice could be made to have multiple redundant and independently produced copies of the program, and to run these copies on independent hardware while cross-checking results.
