متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Architectural Decay in Open-Source Software
Architecture is the set of principal design decisions about a software system. In practice, new architectural decisions are added and existing ones reversed or modified throughout a system’s lifetime. Frequently, these decisions deviate from the architect’s well-considered intent, and software systems regularly exhibit increased architectural decay as they evolve. The manifestations of such ill...
