Complying with best-practice processes
The techniques for applying model-based techniques to architectural designs and detailed designs that have been introduced and discussed so far in this chapter may be used to comply with international best practice, in this case, ISO 15288 – software and systems engineering life cycle processes.
The two processes that are of interest are both taken from the technical process group and are the architecture definition process and the design definition process. Each of these will be discussed in the following two sections.
Complying with the ISO 15288 architecture definition process
The ISO 15288 process that is relevant for architectural design is the architecture definition process. This has been captured and modeled using the approach described in Chapter 5, Systems Engineering Processes. Refer to the following diagram:
