I am one of those developers with an interest in software architecture. According to bass et al the architecture of a software intensive system refers to the structure or structures of the system which comprise software elements, the externally visible properties of those elements and the relationship among them. Most software process models such as waterfall, incremental model, spiral model and agile processes like xp and scrum do not explicitly specify an architecture activity but that does not mean that architecture is not important enough to warrant its own distinct activity in the software development lifecycle. Infact architecture is the primary carrier of quality attributes such as availability, performance, modifiability etc. While requirements activity usually considers only concerns of user stakeholders architecture on the other hand usually considers the concerns of other stakeholders such as developers, architects, testers, acquirers, system administrators etc. It should be noted that software systems are not just used they are built, tested, maintained and of course they have to be paid for.

Is this a question, an information, a poem or court proceeding?

With they way you started, one would have expected a call-to-action after the literature.

Well sorry if you don't fancy the way i started. Maybe i decided to start like that because i have come across quite a few developers (especially agile developers) who do not appreciate architecture because they feel architecture introduces unnecessary bureaucracy to the development process.

@harryobas Well said, your on point ...dont know where you're going with your post though...

Well the purpose of the post is to highlight and create an awareness of the importance of software architecture. Especially for developers that don't appreciate or understand why architecture is important.

since you are trying to "create an awareness of the importance of software architecture" why don't you illustrate it with a simple software and going through those phases and pointing out how the software architecture affects the perfomance of the software... Not quoting a textbook.

I have not quoted a textbook for your information. I only defined architecture using the generally accepted definition for architecture, if you are interested in knowing more about architecture just say so.

you wanna teach? Please, Go on but please, use examples. sir.

First of all am not here to teach, and even if i wanted to teach you have to first of all tell me what u already know about software architecture so i know where to start from. If it happens that u know nothing at all then i would have to probably email u some beginner materials on software architecture to get u up to speed.
