Software Architecture with C++

By: Adrian Ostrowski, Piotr Gaczkowski

Overview of this book

Software architecture refers to the high-level design of complex applications. It is evolving just like the languages we use, but there are architectural concepts and patterns that you can learn to write high-performance apps in a high-level language without sacrificing readability and maintainability. If you're working with modern C++, this practical guide will help you put your knowledge to work and design distributed, large-scale apps. You'll start by getting up to speed with architectural concepts, including established patterns and rising trends, then move on to understanding what software architecture actually is and start exploring its components. Next, you'll discover the design concepts involved in application architecture and the patterns in software development, before going on to learn how to build, package, integrate, and deploy your components. In the concluding chapters, you'll explore different architectural qualities, such as maintainability, reusability, testability, performance, scalability, and security. Finally, you will get an overview of distributed systems, such as service-oriented architecture, microservices, and cloud-native, and understand how to apply them in application development. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build distributed services using modern C++ and associated tools to deliver solutions as per your clients' requirements.

Trompeloeil example

To contrast this example with the previous one, this time, we are using Trompeloeil for test doubles and Catch2 as a testing framework:

#include "merchants/reviews.h"

#include "fake_customer_review_store.h"

// order is important
#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
#include <catch2/catch.hpp>
#include <catch2/trompeloeil.hpp>

#include <memory>

#include <merchants/visited_merchant_history.h>

using trompeloeil::_;

class mock_visited_merchant : public i_visited_merchant {
public:
MAKE_MOCK0(get_rating, stars(), override);
MAKE_MOCK1(post_rating, void(stars s), override);
};

SCENARIO("merchant history keeps store up to date", "[mobile app]") {
GIVEN("a history with one rated merchant") {
static constexpr std::size_t CUSTOMER_ID = 7777;
static constexpr std::size_t MERCHANT_ID = 1234;
static constexpr const char *REVIEW_TEXT = "Very nice!";
static constexpr stars RATING = stars{5.f};
