System architecture/IT architecture:

We create system architectures as part

of our Architecture Development package.

IT Architectur Development

Our development package includes the decomposition of the entire eCommerce system (eCommerce server, search server, web analytics, recommendation, rating, SEO tools, PIM, CMS, etc.), the interface overview and the overarching data flow graph. The aim is to display and tabulate the data used by different systems.

At the start of architecture development, architecture drivers are identified and evaluation criteria defined by analyzing the overall system and other available information. Functional and non-functional requirements influence the design of the system architecture, which is documented in architecture views as UML diagrams. The system architecture is reviewed on the basis of the specified evaluation criteria. The system architecture determines the basis of the software architecture in the subsequent "BUILD" phase.

Architectur-and Code-Review

“We analyze the architecture of your designed eCommerce system in order to identify potential problem areas at an early stage and provide clear recommendations for improving the architecture in accordance with the resulting ‘technical debt’.”

In the case of an existing eCommerce system, we also analyze the code to provide clear statements about the code quality, code performance aspects and possible problem areas of the code, as well as statements about the scalability and readiness of the system for commissioning.

[Translate to Englisch:] Vertrauensvolle Partnerschaft

Our approach:

We proceed in the following steps on the basis of customer-specific deliveries (specifications, documentation, test data, log files and source code if applicable):

1. Analysis of the system architecture and design
2. Analysis of the technical architecture
3. Review of the interface processes and technologies used
4. If necessary, analysis of existing code in random samples
5. Examination of scaling and performance aspects and, if necessary, readiness for commissioning
6. Recommendations for improving the architecture and, if necessary, the code in accordance with the resulting “technical debt”.
