Future-Proof Software-Systems: A Sustainable Evolution Strategy

This book focuses on software architecture and the value of architecture in the development of long-lived, mission-critical, trustworthy software-systems. The author introduces and demonstrates the powerful strategy of “Managed Evolution,” along with the engineering best practice known as “Principle-based Architecting.” The book examines in detail architecture principles for e.g., Business Value, Changeability, Resilience, and Dependability. 

The author argues that the software development community has a strong responsibility to produce and operate useful, dependable, and trustworthy software. Software should at the same time provide business value and guarantee many quality-of-service properties, including security, safety, performance, and integrity. As Dr. Furrer states, “Producing dependable software is a balancing act between investing in the implementation of business functionality and investing in the quality-of-service properties of the software-systems.” 

The book presents extensive coverage of such concepts as: 

  • Principle-Based Architecting 
  • Managed Evolution Strategy
  • The Future 
  • Principles for Business Value 
  • Legacy Software Modernization/Migration 
  • Architecture Principles for Changeability 
  • Architecture Principles for Resilience 
  • Architecture Principles for Dependability 

The text is supplemented with numerous figures, tables, examples and illustrative quotations. Future-Proof Software-Systems provides a set of good engineering practices, devised for integration into most software development processes dedicated to the creation of software-systems that incorporate Managed Evolution.
