CLASS OF CLASS OF INDIVIDUAL - Application
| Description | An Application is a Business Software System that provides a set of Functionality(ies) that End Users see as a single unit. Essentially Applications are architectural constructions resulting from the combinaison of the following four criteria: 1) A group of Functionality that End Users see as a single unit. 2) A managed asset ( Managed Application) associated with a budget line in the context of an Application Portfolio. 3) A body of code that is seen by developers as a single unit. 4) A group of deployable software units ( Deployable Application Packages) that must be installed together on one or multiple execution nodes ( Computing System). Application is a Mezzo enterprise asset that sits between Application System and Application Component in the decomposition of Business Software Systems. Example: " Payroll" is an Application that is part an " HR System" which is an Application System. The "Payroll" Application includes, among other things, the "Salary and Wage Calculation" Application Component.
The Application Functional Architecture domain is used to describe the functional structure and behavior of Business Software Systems. | ||
