Q.1. List and describe the most important properties of good software architecture. List and describe the most important architectural considerations in creating the architectures. What kinds of design artifacts are not to be considered as software architecture? [10]
Q.2. The study of software architectures is often compared with the evolution and study of building architectures. While the study of building architectures has evolved over thousands of years, the study of software architectures is fairly recent and rather immature as a discipline. Compare and contrast the discipline of software architecture with that of building architecture, and describe (in a set of coherent and lucid points which are numbered serially) what you visualize for the discipline of software architecture in the next five years. [10]
Q.3. A large number of architectural styles are designed to support the quality of modifiability. Give two examples each from the Data-Flow style and the Call-and-Return style and explain the different types of modifications supported by them. [10]
Q.4. The relative informality and high level of abstraction of current practice in describing architectures might at first glance suggest that architectural descriptions have little substantive value for software engineers. But this is not the case. Giving appropriate reasons, critically argue (in lucid points) as to how software architectural descriptions provide substantial value for software engineers. [10]
