The way that software components — subroutines, classes, functions, etc. — are arranged, and the interactions between them, is called architecture. In this course you will study the ways these architectures are represented, both in UML and other visual tools. We will introduce the most common architectures, their qualities, and tradeoffs. We will talk about how architectures are evaluated, what makes a good architecture, and an architecture can be improved. We'll also talk about how the architecture touches on the process of software development.

Programa - Qué aprenderás en este curso
UML Architecture Diagrams
In this module you will learn about software architecture. You will learn why architecture is important, what perspectives need to be considered, and how to communicate architecture using UML.
Architectural Styles
Software comes in all shapes and sizes. The architecture you choose will affect every part of your software, from its security and efficiency, to its modularity and maintainability. In this module we will examine the different architectures that you have to choose from to shape your software.
Architecture in Practice
The architecture is the most fundamental aspect of software. You will learn how development teams describe architectures, plan successful architectures based on quality attributes, and evaluate the resulting architecture. You will also learn how architecture relates to organization structure and even product planning!
Capstone Challenge
Now, in the final module of the course, you will evaluate the proposed architecture to extend the functionality of the example Android code base.

Principales reseñas sobre ARQUITECTURA DE SOFTWARE
This course can provide more practical assignments for students to master the concepts covered in lectures.
Not as informative as the previous two courses in this specialization, although the links to free materials in the discussion boards helped a lot.
Combining practical knowledge with the information from this course i succeed to see the big picture of software architecture. Nice work.
I felt the material was very shallow. I had to go and refer to YouTube videos to clarify understanding on few.
