Checkpoints: Architectural Analysis
General
- Subsystem and package partitioning and layering is logically
consistent.
- All analysis mechanisms have been identified and described.
Subsystems
- The services (interfaces) of subsystems in upper-level layers
have been defined.
- The dependencies between subsystems and packages correspond
to dependency relationships between the contained classes.
- The classes in a subsystem support the services identified
for the subsystem.
Classes
- The key entity classes and their relationships have been
identified.
- Relationships between key entity classes have been defined.
- The name and description of each class clearly reflects the
role it plays.
- The description of each class accurately captures the
responsibilities of the class.
- The entity classes have been mapped to analysis mechanisms
where appropriate.
- The role names of aggregations and associations accurately
describe the relationship between the related classes.
- The multiplicities of the relationships are correct.
- The key entity classes and their relationships are consistent
with the business model (if it exists), domain model (if it exists),
requirements, and glossary entries.
