Abstract:
"Software architecture is the structure or structures of a system which comprises software elements, externally visible properties of those elements, relationships among them and boundaries or constraints that have to be kept in mind to enable the system to fully satisfy business requirements. Defining a software architecture is a fundamental activity that allows to have an initial high level technical view of the components that will be build or integrated as well as the relation among those components and their environment, all of this has to be conceived before any implementation or design investment. Furthermore, software architecture also keeps in mind non functional but vital aspects of a system such as: Availability, integrability, security, performance, usability, accessibility, etc..."--Tomado de la introducción
