Software Architecture

The goal of software architecture is to minimize the human resources required to build and maintain the required system.

If you give me a program that works perfectly but is impossible to change, then it won’t work when the requirements change, and I won’t be able to make it work. Therefore the program will become useless.

If you give me a program that does not work but is easy to change, then I can make it work, and keep it working as requirements change. Therefore the program will remain continually useful.

• Make the tests the first "user"
• Make the first DB a mock
• And let your design evolve, be able to swap parts
