Architecture Decomposition Framework

Document and model software architectures effectively and efficiently

Architecture: It’s about software architecture, which is the set of design decisions made about a software system that affect the system as a whole.

Decomposition: To understand complex structures, we need to break them down. The ADF provides an architecture documentation template that progressively reveals various aspects and levels of detail of a system, along with corresponding views that allow these aspects to be modeled as diagrams.

Framework: This methodology is not limited to modeling specific systems. Instead, it provides a general approach that can be applied to any software system, ranging from command-line tools to microservices.
