The Architectural Template method is an efficient design-time engineering method for analyzing scalability, elasticity, and efficiency properties of SaaS applications. This method quantifies such properties based on reusable analysis templates — so called Architectural Templates.

Architectural Templates

The Architectural Template method is an efficient design-time engineering method for analyzing scalability, elasticity, and efficiency properties of SaaS applications. This method quantifies such properties based on reusable analysis templates — so called Architectural Templates. We extend the PCM via the the Architectural Template language and provide a catalogue of Architectural Templates specified in this language. Architectural Templates manifest all quality-relevant characteristics intrinsic to given architectural styles, architectural patterns, and reference architecture. Architects only have to fill-in the parts specific to their concrete application.
