FSA P5: Fill in the Gaps

The software architecture of a computing system is the set of ___ needed to reason about the system, which comprise ___ among them and properties of both.

structures; elements and relations

Modules represent a ___ way of considering the system.

static

Architecture focuses on interactions among the parts while programming focuses on ___ of parts.

implementation

Architectural drivers include ___ requirements, ___ requirements, and ___.

functional; quality; constraints

Constraints describe context that is ___ the architect's control.

outside

A tactic is a decision that refines an architecture carried out in a ___ and is influential in controlling a quality attribute response.

style

___ is concerned with system failure and its associated consequences. A system failure occurs when a system no longer delivers a service that is consistent with its specification.

Availability

___ is about the degree to which two or more systems can usefully exchange meaningful information via interfaces in a particular context.

Interoperability

___ is about protecting data and information from unauthorized access while still providing access to people and systems that are authorized.

Security

___ is concerned with how easy it is for the user to accomplish a desired task and the kind of user support the system provides.

Usability

An architecture quantum includes all the necessary ___ to function independently from other parts of the architecture.

components

A ___ defines a point of potential interaction of a component with its environment.

port

An architect must document software-intensive systems from at least three perspectives, ___ and .

module; component-and-connector; allocation

___ view shows how components are deployed to different devices/other physical entities.

Deployment

An ___ is a boundary across which two independent entities interact or communicate.

interface

There are two types of architecture reviews, ___ review and ___ review.

peer; formal

The software architecture principle of ___ says that all information about a module should be private to the module unless required externally.

information hiding

Module views are ___ and are useful to describe the system at ___.

static; development time

There exist formal, semi-formal, and informal modelling notations. UML is a(n) ___ notation.

semi-formal

___ means keeping an installed system running with no change to its design, whereas ___ means creating new but related designs from existing ones to support new functionalities or make the system perform better.

Maintenance; evolution

The quality attribute that is concerned with making future changes easier is called ___.

modifiability

In the BAPO model, B stands for ___, A stands for ___, P stands for ___, and O stands for ___.

Business; Architecture; Process; Organization

___ is the coordination of multiple services through the use of a separate mediator service that controls and manages the workflow of the transaction.

Orchestration

An ___ is a short text file that describes a set of forces and a single decision in response to those forces. It includes at least the context, the design decision, and its consequences.

architectural pattern (or pattern)

A disadvantage of microservices is that ___.

they introduce operational complexity (distributed system complexity, network latency, debugging difficulty)

An ___ is a set of element and relation types, together with a set of constraints on how they can be used.

architectural style

In quality attribute scenarios, a ___ is a condition that requires a response.

stimulus

The design principle of ___ indicates that you should "keep things together that belong together".

cohesion (or separation of concerns / modularity)

In Quality Attribute Scenarios, the condition/context under which the stimulus occurs is called ___.

environment
