Overview of this book

When developers document the architecture of their systems, they often invent their own specific ways of articulating structures, designs, concepts, and decisions. What they need is a template that enables simple and efficient software architecture documentation. arc42 by Example shows how it's done through several real-world examples. Each example in the book, whether it is a chess engine, a huge CRM system, or a cool web system, starts with a brief description of the problem domain and the quality requirements. Then, you'll discover the system context with all the external interfaces. You'll dive into an overview of the solution strategy to implement the building blocks and runtime scenarios. The later chapters also explain various cross-cutting concerns and how they affect other aspects of a program.

V.2 Constraints

At the beginning of the project, various constraints had to be respected within the design of DokChess. They still affect the solution. This section represents these restrictions and explains – where necessary – their motivations.

2.1 Technical Constraints

The following table describes the various technical constraints encountered when using the DokChess engine:

2.2 Organizational Constraints

The following table lists the organizational constraints for building the DokChess engine:
