Delve into software architecture, exploring key principles, patterns, and quality attributes. Gain insights with case studies and projects, enhancing your practical skills in system design and optimization.

Software Architecture in Applications-01.png

This course offers a deep dive into the world of software architecture. It’s designed to equip software developers and architects with the knowledge and skills necessary to create, evaluate, and optimize software systems. The course covers a range of critical topics to ensure a strong foundation in architectural principles and strategies.

You will start by exploring architectural concepts and the relationship between quality attributes, requirements, and architectural styles. You’ll also examine different architectural patterns and strategies, including centralized and decentralized architecture, layered pattern, broker pattern, and microservices. Then, you’ll go into the details of important quality attributes needed while developing an architecture.

The course is equipped with multiple case studies and two projects to further enhance learning. These real-world scenarios and hands-on projects are strategically incorporated to give learners practical insights.

Software Architecture in Applications

To ensure that the system is maintainable and scalable

To identify potential issues or challenges early in the design process


To communicate the design of the system to stakeholders
