Solution Architecture with .NET

By: Jamil Hallal

Overview of this book

Understanding solution architecture is a must to build and integrate robust systems to meet your client’s needs. This makes it crucial for a professional .NET software engineer to learn the key skills of a .NET solution architect to create a unique digital journey and build solutions for a wide range of industries, from strategy and design to implementation. With this handbook, developers working with the .NET technology will be able to put their knowledge to work. The book takes a hands-on approach to help you become an effective solution architect. You’ll start by learning the principles of the software development life cycle (SDLC), the roles and responsibilities of a .NET solution architect, and what makes a great .NET solution architect. As you make progress through the chapters, you’ll understand the principles of solution architecture and how to design a solution, and explore designing layers and microservices. You'll complete your learning journey by uncovering modern design patterns and techniques for designing and building digital solutions. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to architect your modern web solutions with ASP.NET Core and Microsoft Azure and be ready to automate your development life cycle with Azure DevOps.

Learning about quality attributes

An organized solution architecture sets the right path for your development team and makes it easy to maintain different quality characteristics, which will further enhance the quality of the product in many ways.

Before we start exploring the various quality attributes, let's first understand what a quality attribute is. A quality attribute is a property that defines the quality of a system, it is a measurable or testable characteristic of a system that is used to indicate how well the architecture chosen for the system satisfies the requirements of the client. There are two types of quality attributes: qualities that can be measured at design time and others that can be measured at runtime or during execution. The following diagram shows us the various attributes that we will discuss in this chapter along with their respective types:
