LG 2-3 clarify term „influencing factor“

hoch4 opened this issue · comments

The term “influencing factors” should be clarified.

Based on the German version of the curriculum you may think, that influencing factors are a synonym for constraints:

Softwarearchitekt:innen können Einflussfaktoren (Randbedingungen) als Einschränkungen der Entwurfsfreiheit erarbeiten und berücksichtigen

From the English version one could conclude that influencing factors are something else than constraints:

Software architects are able to gather and consider constraints and influencing factors that restrict their decisions.

As far as I interpret the learning goal, the term “influencing factor” is a generic term for all influences: functional requirements, quality requirements, constraints (organizational, technical), trends, ...

Although coming after the official feature freeze, we will consider this within the FL-working group.

the German version is correct (by explaining Einflussfaktoren = (Randbedingungen)
THe English version, saying "constraints and influencing factors" is simply wrong in the translation.
I suggest to change to "constraints" only.

The title is completely misleading, the sub-goals are ok. Will change the title of the LG to:

DE: "Anforderungen klären und berücksichtigen" (as "Anforderungen" includes "Randbedingungen")
EN: "Clarify and consider requirements"
