_Economics-driven Software Architecture_ presents a guide for
engineers and architects who need to understand the economic impact of
architecture design decisions: the long term and strategic viability,
cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of applications and systems.
Economics-driven software development can increase quality,
productivity, and profitability, but comprehensive knowledge is needed
to understand the architectural challenges involved in dealing with
the development of large, architecturally challenging systems in an
economic way.
This book covers how to apply economic considerations during the
software architecting activities of a project. Architecture-centric
approaches to development and systematic evolution, where managing
complexity, cost reduction, risk mitigation, evolvability, strategic
planning and long-term value creation are among the major drivers for
adopting such approaches. It assists the objective assessment of the
lifetime costs and benefits of evolving systems, and the
identification of legacy situations, where architecture or a component
is indispensable but can no longer be evolved to meet changing needs
at economic cost. Such consideration will form the scientific
foundation for reasoning about the economics of nonfunctional
requirements in the context of architectures and architecting.
* Familiarizes readers with essential considerations in
economic-informed and value-driven software design and analysis
* Introduces techniques for making value-based software architecting
decisions
* Provides readers a better understanding of the methods of
economics-driven architecting
