Concepts: Implementation
View
The implementation view is one of five architectural views of a system.
The other architectural views are the logical view, use-case view, process view,
and deployment view.
The purpose of the implementation view is to capture the architectural
decisions made for the implementation. Typically, the implementation view
contains:
- an enumeration of all subsystems in the implementation model
- component diagrams illustrating how subsystems are organized in layers and
hierarchies
- illustrations of import dependencies between subsystems
The implementation view is useful for:
- assigning implementation work to individuals and teams, or subcontractors
- assessing the amount of code to be developed, modified, or deleted
- reasoning large-scale reuse
- considering release strategies
The implementation view and the other architectural views are
documented in the Software Architecture Document.
