Term Definition: analysis mechanism |
Main Description
An architectural mechanism used early in the design process, during the period of discovery when key classes and subsystems are being identified. Typically analysis mechanisms capture
the key aspects of a solution in a way that is implementation independent. Analysis mechanisms are usually
unrelated to the problem domain, but instead are "computer science" concepts. They provide specific behaviors
to a domain-related class or component, or correspond to the implementation of cooperation between
classes and/or components. They may be implemented as a framework. Examples include mechanisms to handle persistence,
inter-process communication, error or fault handling, notification, and messaging, to name a few. |
