Quality Attributes
Up till now, we have been talking about quality in an informal way. However, if you want to build systems that support the required qualities you will need a way to express those quality attributes and understand how you can achieve them. After this module you should be able to formulate your own quality requirements. We will also study 2 qualities that are especially relevant for Internet of Things: interoperability and modifiability.

Tactics
In the fourth week, we will explain how architectural tactics can help you create a software architecture that achieves the predefined requirements. This is what needs to be done in step three of the ADD - remember? We'll start of by learning about the difference between tactics and patterns. We will give some examples of tactics to achieve interoperability and modifiability. We will discuss the MVC pattern and its relation to the modifiability tactics. Lastly, we'll discuss how MVC is being used in Android.

TOP REVIEWS FROM SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS
by FCJul 11, 2017
Good overall course on software architecure with an emphasys on ADD and a little about IoT. Would like to have dug a little deeper and maybe have some more practical exercises.

I learned a lot through this course and was able to apply some of my learnings to my current work. Definitely would like to recommend this course!
by IKApr 21, 2020
It was a very good and comprehensive course especially for those who want to work on IoT based projects and not have much knowledge of software
by VMMar 2, 2017
Excellent Course. I highly recommend this course with people who are software architects and who intended to become one day.
