In addition to the collection of functional and non-functional requirements, the software and system architecture plays an increasingly important role. It should be ensured that architectural aspects such as failure safety and quality standards are adhered to, as this can otherwise lead to the failure of the project. Another aspect is the maintainability of the software. Constant quality control of the source code and specifications of the modular software architecture are the key to the prevention of so-called spaghetti- (= a heap of code without structure) and lasagne code (= multi-layered, uneducated code structure), which makes maintenance of the software enormously more difficult.

Architecture patterns are used to determine the right software and system architecture for your project. These prevent that in any case an N-layer architecture is used for implementation. Applications that are not based on a formal architecture are often tightly coupled and difficult to adapt. The consideration of the architecture in the design phase and during the implementation allows the right architecture decision. In addition to the classical N-layer architecture, event-controlled architecture, microkernel architecture, microservices architecture or space-based architecture can also be used. Let us together define the right architecture for your project.
