1. The objective of model-based software engineering is to improve product cycle time, product quality and product maintainability through a formal understanding of the features and structure of a product family and through the development of reusable software resources that simplify the development of the new product in the family.
2. In MBSE, these reusable resources are designed for flexibility.
3. They will not easily fail as changes occur in functionality, performance.
4. Much of the technology in MBSE is not new, but by focusing on models that consolidate engineer's understanding of a family of software products, engineers can create reusable assets that satisfy a wide variety of uses and easily analyze changes in existing software to quickly compose new solutions for subsequent products.
5. The design of a software system is an architecture.
6. The goal of an engineering stage is to converge on a stable architecture baseline.
7. This architecture baseline is not a paper document and it is a collection of information across all the engineering sets.
8. These architectures are described by extracting the essential information from the design models.
9. In today's software systems, we have to evolve the multiple distinct models and views to exploit the advantages of modern technologies such as commercial components, object-oriented methods, open systems, distributed systems, host and target environment, and modern languages.
10. A model is defined as an abstraction of a system that is independent in nature.
11. The view is defined as a subset of the model, which outlines a definite, related perspective.
12. Hence, multiple models and views have evolved to make good use of modern technologies like object-oriented methods, distributed systems, open systems, etc.
13. Architecture is considered as the most important technical product of a software project.
14. The infrastructure, control and data interfaces allow for software components to collaborate as a system and for software designers to have mutual support as a team.
15. If the software development team needs to have the path of success, then the inter-project communications must be precise and accurate as in software architecture.
16. The three different aspects of software architecture from a management perspective are as follows.
17.It is an indefinite design of software system.
18. It includes the following, All engineering requirements to specify entire material bills.
19. Important make/buy decisions are solved.
20. All custom components are clearly explained so that the cost of each component and construction/assembly costs can be determined.
21. It is a definite aspect of software architecture.
22. It is a subset of information across engineering artifact sets so as to satisfy all stakeholders that function and quality can be achieved within the business case parameters like cost, time, profit, etc.
