Description

Improve software systems systematically

Improve existing software systems in a targeted and methodical manner. Develop strategic approaches to achieve both technical and business goals.

Software architecture affects all members of a project and is intended to have a long operational life span. Improvements to the software architecture are therefore frequently required, whether as a result of new requirements or technological advances. In this training we’ll tackle the analysis of the existing software architecture, the identification of solution approaches, and the implementation of improvements.

Agenda

  • Introduction and motivation: legacy and technical debt
  • Learn how to use practical analysis methods
  • Scenario and metric-based evaluation
  • Typical improvement approaches
  • Focusing: aligning measures with architectural goals
  • Structural improvement: recipes for refactoring
  • Learn to estimate and evaluate problems and solutions: Assess risks, costs, and benefits
