The Guide discusses concepts, representation and work products, context, process and methods, and analysis and evaluation.[^s1] The Guide uses "architecture" in at least three senses: a discipline of constructing software-intensive systems; the processes that carry out that discipline; and the outcome of applying those processes to a particular system. The outcome is recorded in an architecture description. As stages of design, architectural design precedes high-level design and detailed design; the latter two are discussed in the Software Design knowledge area.[^s1] The Guide's top-level topics for this knowledge area are: - Software Architecture Fundamentals - Software Architecture Description - Software Architecture Process - Software Architecture Evaluation /concepts/software-architecture.html en zh en theme One knowledge area of SWEBOK Guide v4.0a. relation_software_engineering_broader_than_software_architecture concept_software_engineering broader_than concept_software_architecture concept_software_engineering s1 concept_software_engineering Software Engineering /en/concepts/software-engineering.html true concept_software_engineering Software Engineering /en/concepts/software-engineering.html concept 2 2026-11-02T01:19:48+08:00 当前版本 true /en/concepts/software-architecture/at/2.html en zh en concept_kind Theme aliases 软件架构 scope_note One knowledge area of SWEBOK Guide v4.0a. 1 broader_than true 1 1
