ARCEVAL (Online) - Stefan Toth - German

Description

Reflect Software Architectures

Reflect and evaluate software architectures in a targeted and well-founded manner. Learn to recognize risks, discuss trade-offs and strengthen team communication through architecture assessments.

Architecture assessment is an essential tool for gaining security in architecture design and for developing existing solutions or solution approaches in a focused and sustainable manner. Or for discarding them on an informed basis. Above all, architecture assessment promotes communication and transparency. This makes it an ideal tool in contemporary approaches when used correctly.

In addition to this training you will receive the ebook “Software Systeme reviewen (mit dem Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews – LASR)” by Stefan Toth and Stefan Zörner in German.
