Technical Reference Model [TRM]- AAA U Services |
TRM creates a common vocabulary structure between all participants be they Architects or QA – QC Guys or Business people. they might not understand “Application Server where a business process was deployed is gone down” but they definitely can understand that the “Business System is not Highly Available” 🙂 , because it takes some learning to understand what are HTTP Servers , APP Servers , Database servers etc.. TRM Services include
- Availability – Manageability, Recoverability, Locatability, Performance, Reliability, Serviceability
- Adaptability – Security, Integrity, Credibility
- Assurance – Interoperability, Scalability, Extensibility, Portability
- Usability – Usage Experience, Internationalization
when we are talking about “Qualities” in Architecture Development we are essentially meaning non functional requirements , Because stake holders might NOT come to you and express concerns directly about Usability or Scalability to drive their business, But as a good Architect you understand them that Qualities of good Architecture include the above TRM Services
Integrated Information Infrastructure – Reference Model – [IIIRM] |
