Title
Modularization of Logical Software Architectures for Implementation with Multiple Teams
Abstract
In the end of a requirements elicitation phase, it is expectable that all information can be properly perceived by the implementation teams. In our work, we faced the problem of dealing with a large set of requirements that need to be implemented by different teams, to ensure on-time delivery. The teams are physically separated and with different working cultures and skills. The system requirements were (semi)automatically derived from user requirements, are framed within a logical architecture (of the intended system) and the desired high-level execution scenarios are defined and included in the requirements description. Due to the large size of the architecture and to the nature of the working environment, the architecture must be divided before being delivered. In this paper, we present our approach for dividing the logical architecture of the intended system into modules to be delivered for implementation. The division in constructed upon requirement views that provide information about the modules, their interfaces, the intended execution scenarios, and the interfaces with other modules or systems. The approach is evaluated using the ISOFIN project.
