Software Architecture Patterns
[WLO: 3] [CLOs: 1, 2]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 7 in your text, Software Architect’s Handbook: Become a Successful Software Architect by Implementing Effective Architecture Concepts.
One of the most useful tools for any software architects are software architecture patterns. Basically, some of the design issues you encounter will have some proven solutions that were made by others. Before you jump and start reinventing the wheel, being familiar with these “good” solutions may save you time and should also help you produce high quality software. As an experienced software architect, you should be very familiar with these patterns, and you should be able to recognize situations where these patterns should be used.
In your paper,
- Select one of the architecture patterns explained in Chapter 7 of the course text.
- State the name of the selected pattern in your paper.
- Select a software application that uses the pattern you selected.
- Explain how that application uses your selected pattern.
- Explain why it is the appropriate pattern for the application.
- Identify another pattern that could be appropriate for the same software application.
- Discuss how that pattern could be used to implement the application.
- Compare and contrast the two approaches of pattern use (the existing one and your suggested one).
