Ideally when a system evolves, its prescriptive + +3 +00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,340 +architecture should be modified first. Just like when you + +4 +00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:12,170 +modify a building. You change the blueprint and then you + +5 +00:00:12,170 --> 00:00:13,940 +change the actual building. You don't go the other + +6 +00:00:13,940 --> 00:00:17,820 +way around. In software, unfortunately this rarely ever happens in + +7 +00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:21,706 +practice. In practice the system, and therefore it's descriptive + +8 +00:00:21,706 --> 00:00:25,150 +architecture are often directly modified. Like in this case that + +9 +00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:27,870 +I'm showing here. So what happens is that the architecture + +10 +00:00:27,870 --> 00:00:32,259 +as conceived does not change. Whereas the architecture as implemented, does + +11 +00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:35,600 +change. And therefore these two things start diverging. And this really + +12 +00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,720 +happens for a number of reasons. So I'm just going to list + +13 +00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,740 +a few of those reasons here. In some cases it + +14 +00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:45,620 +just happens for plain sloppiness. I need to make this modification + +15 +00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:47,290 +and I don't really want to go back and look at + +16 +00:00:47,290 --> 00:00:50,610 +the prescriptive architecture modified. I'm just going to make the change, and + +17 +00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:53,800 +maybe I'll fix the description later. And then you never really get + +18 +00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,950 +to it. In other cases you do this because of the perception + +19 +00:00:56,950 --> 00:01:00,290 +of short deadlines. If you have to do something by this afternoon, + +20 +00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:01,300 +you're not going through a four + +21 +00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,410 +month software architecture review, you normally just + +22 +00:01:03,410 --> 00:01:06,460 +get to it, and do it. In some cases a prescriptive architecture + +23 +00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:09,510 +is not even present, so there's a lack of documentation. So in these + +24 +00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:12,450 +cases, clearly, you cannot go and modify something that does not even + +25 +00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:15,880 +exist, and so you jump directly to the code and start modifying that. + +26 +00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,280 +And as I said there's many, many more + +27 +00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,080 +other reasons why that happen. But important point here is + +28 +00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,770 +that it does happen and it does happen often + +29 +00:01:23,770 --> 00:01:27,250 +and the result is that prescriptive and descriptive architectures diverge. |
