Abstract

One of the ideas of agile software development is to respond to changes rather than following a plan. Constantly changing businesses result in changing requirements, to be handled in the development process. Therefore, it is essential that the underlying software architecture is capable of managing agile business processes. However, criticism on agile software development states that it lacks paying attention to architectural and design issues and therefore is bound to engender suboptimal design-decisions. In this paper we propose an architectural framework for agile software development, that by explicitly separating computational, coordinational, and communicational models offers a high degree of flexibility regarding architectural and design changes introduced by agile business processes. The framework strength is facilitated by combining the characteristics and properties of state-of-the-art middleware architectural styles captured in a simple API. The benefit of our approach is a clear architectural design with minimized effects of changes the models have on each other, accompanied by an efficient realization of new business requirements.

面向敏捷软件开发的体系结构框架

敏捷软件开发的理念之一是响应变化，而不是遵循计划。不断变化的业务导致需求的变化，需要在开发过程中处理。因此，底层软件体系结构必须能够管理敏捷的业务流程。然而，对敏捷软件开发的批评指出，它缺乏对架构和设计问题的关注，因此必然会产生次优的设计决策。在本文中，我们提出了一个敏捷软件开发的体系结构框架，通过显式地分离计算、协调和通信模型，为敏捷业务流程引入的体系结构和设计变更提供了高度的灵活性。通过结合在一个简单的API中捕获的最先进的中间件体系结构风格的特征和属性，增强了框架的强度。我们的方法的好处是一个清晰的体系结构设计，将模型之间的变更影响最小化，并伴随着对新业务需求的有效实现。
