Implementing an architectural review system
The most costly product defects are often a problem of software architecture. Testing your architecture is a crucial, but often overlooked, step in product development. Learn how to apply Lucent's model to implementing your own architectural review process.
You run a good software development shop. You validate your system design with reviews. You inspect your code and test the finished product, using a carefully specified test set. Still, you sometimes uncover a defect so serious and so fundamental that you have to start over from scratch, wondering "What were we thinking?"
Perhaps it's time to take a closer look at your architecture. Much like civil (building) architecture, systems architecture provides a conceptual design solution to a specific problem.
