Presentation Abstract:
A Couple of Golden Rules for Managing your Architecture
It is always beneficial for a project to define a clear software
architecture. But how can you fight growing deviations between the
planned architecture and the physical code base? How can you avoid
expensive redesigns and refactoring phases? How can you achieve an
outstanding technical quality of your code base? The session explains
the basics concepts of architecture management for Java projects and
introduces a couple of simple rules, that help you to keep your
project on track.

In the session you will learn
how to cut your application into layers, vertical slices and subsystem
and define the allowed dependencies between these elements.
how to map your code base to these logical entities.
some useful software metrics, that help you to fight local
complexity.
strategies to automatically enforce dependency restrictions and metric
rules

At the end of the session I will show a tool based approach for
architecture management.
