They reflect decisions that affect how easily the system can be built, tested, changed, and delivered. Process architecture Structural architecture Operational architecture Cross-cutting architecture Process Architecture Process architectural characteristics are where software development process intersects with software architect. They reflect with the decisions about the mechanics of building software. Modularity - Split the system into small, well-defined parts so changes stay localized. https://imran-khan.com/posts/software-architect-architecture-characteristics-part-1/ Tue, 27 Jan 2026 14:01:56 +0000 https://imran-khan.com/posts/software-architect-architecture-characteristics-part-1/ In software architecture, there are four dimensions. They are interconnected—think of a puzzle made up of small pieces. Each piece has a unique shape, and together they form a complete picture. They are: Architecture characteristics Architecture decisions Logical components Architecture styles In this part, we will talk about the first dimension: Architecture Characteristics. Architecture Characteristics Architecture characteristics form the foundation of a software system’s architecture. Without them, you cannot make good architecture decisions or analyze important trade-offs.
