Discover an approach to evolutionary design of software systems

Building Evolutionary Architectures is a professional book for readers interested in designing flexible and scalable systems and in how to continuously adapt architecture to changes in requirements, the market, and technologies. It focuses on the principles of evolutionary architecture and on ways to manage changes with an emphasis on preserving quality.

In an environment of rapid technological development, the ability of software to evolve can be crucial. Building Evolutionary Architectures presents principles, patterns, and practices to help design architectures that can be progressively changed and extended while maintaining the desired system properties. The book combines conceptual explanations with examples and practical recommendations.

You will learn how to use quality measures (fitness functions), automated testing, and continuous integration to support evolutionary development. The book also discusses team and process aspects that can help keep the architecture understandable and sustainable over the long term.
