What actually characterises a good software architecture? What challenges does the software architect have to face today? Is he more of a technician, organizer or mediator? These questions and more are covered in this training. Furthermore, you will learn the basic tools of the software architect. Using a case study, you will analyze and evaluate the requirements of stakeholders and learn methods and techniques to design high-quality software. We also teach you how to qualitatively assess IT systems and document them efficiently.
