Features & Capabilities

FeaturesCustomer demandE.g. We want the product to or The product should ..Should prioritizedMade clear by development team

Slide 6 (out of 11)CT059-3.5-3 Software Architecture TestingArchitectural Evolution and MaturationFeatures & CapabilitiesCapabilitiesUnderlying architectures ability to support a related set of featuresShould able to implement most or all requested features in a well defined, disciplined manner.

Slide 7 (out of 11)CT059-3.5-3 Software Architecture TestingArchitectural Evolution and MaturationFeatures & CapabilitiesTo archive this phenomenon the development team should work repeatedly on one architecture.

Through this repeated process the initial architecture matures.
