What is an Architecture Design Document?
At Confed, we use a special design system to design and develop your electrical engineering prototypes, finished products and semi-finished products as quickly, qualitatively and completely as possible.
To do this, we use a structured cycle for product development. In this cycle, we determine the appropriate applications for each product being developed based on a number of factors.
In the System Architecture step, we create an Architecture Design Document based on a number of tests and investigations.
In this blog, we talk more about this document and especially its importance.
A definition of an ADD
An Architecture Design Document (abbreviated ADD) is a technical document that describes the components and specifications needed to support the solution. It also ensures that the specific business and technical requirements of the design are met.
The architectural design document includes the conceptual, logical and physical designs of a product.
What exactly does this mean?
An ADD summarizes all components and specifics of an electrical product in a clear document.
This allows all engineers and developers to see quickly and clearly, how the production of an electrical product should proceed and what needs to be done for this.
This eliminates ambiguities and confusion and allows for quick and efficient development.
The requirements of an ADD
A drafted Architecture Design Document must meet a few general conditions. This way everyone, who has to deal with the product to be developed, understands what to do and what to expect.
Thus, when preparing the Document, we always keep the same layout so that our engineers, developers, but also you can see all the ins-and-outs of the product at a glance.
Furthermore, we use understandable and specific terms to keep the report, short and to the point.
A software architecture design document
A software architecture document is a kind of "map" of all the software in a product. In this way, all software in a device is represented in one document and all software engineers, developers, as well as yourself can see at a glance what software is in the product.
Among other things, this is useful for any adjustments or improvements to the software in the electrical device.
The beauty of a software architecture design is that it helps understand the modules and components of the software without having to dig into the code.
It is a tool for communicating with others - developers and non-developers - about the software.
Architecture Design Document example
An Architecture Design Document can vary from company to company. Company A may report differently than Company B. Want to learn more about how we compile and present our Architecture Design Document to you? Feel free to contact us without obligation and we will answer your questions.
