Metrics of Software Architecture. Cases that Improve Software Quality

How to objectively assess the quality of architecture? How to timely notice the accumulation of technical debt and link architectural decisions to business results? Ten recognized experts share proven metrics and practical approaches that enable architects and technical leaders to make informed decisions.

In today's software development world, application architecture plays a key role. But how can you ensure that the chosen architecture truly meets all project requirements? This is where metrics come into play – a comprehensive process of verifying architectural solutions against specified requirements and quality criteria. The later a problem is detected, the more expensive its correction becomes. And when it comes to architectural decisions, the cost of a mistake increases exponentially.

Quality architecture is not a static state, but a process of constant evaluation and adaptation, based on data and metrics.

This book is not about theory, but about the practice of application and implementation. It is based on real experience and written for software architects and developers. The book presents key metrics of software architecture that will help determine the right key performance indicators (KPIs) and measure the results obtained. You will learn about the effectiveness of decision-making and metric collection.
