Episode 115: Architecture Analysis

During Evolution of a software system, it becomes more and more
difficult to understand the originally planned software
architecture. Often an architectural degeneration happens because
of various reasons during the development phases. In this session
we will be looking how to avoid such architectural decay and
degeneration and how continuous monitoring can improve the
situation (and avoid architectural violations). In addition we will
look at "refactoring in the large" and how refactoring can be
simulated. A new family of "lint like tools for software
architectures" is currently emerging in the marketplace I will show
some examples and how they scale and support you in real world
projects.
