Abstract

Previous research efforts into creating links between software architecture and its implementations have not explicitly addressed versioning. These earlier efforts have either ignored versioning entirely, created overly constraining couplings between architecture and implementation, or disregarded the need for versioning upon deployment. This situation calls for an explicit approach to versioning the architecture-implementation relationship capable of being used throughout design, implementation, and deployment. We present ArchEvol, a set of xADL 2.0 extensions, ArchStudio and Eclipse plug-ins, and Subversion guidelines for managing the architectural-implementation relationship throughout the entire software life cycle.
