    4+1 Model

    Uploaded by

    Anil Relhan
    The 4+1 view model is an architecture verification method that uses multiple concurrent views to describe a software system from different stakeholder perspectives. It includes four primary views - the logical view, process view, development view, and physical view - plus an additional scenario or use case view. Each view addresses different features and concerns of the system for stakeholders like end-users, developers, and project managers.

    Interaction Overview

    5 Combines activity and sequence diagrams to provide a control flow overview of system and
    business process.

    Communication

    6 Same as sequence diagram, except that it focuses on the object’s role. Each communication
    is associated with a sequence order, number plus the past messages.

    Architecture View Model


    A model is a complete, basic, and simplified description of software architecture which is composed of
    multiple views from a particular perspective or viewpoint.

    A view is a representation of an entire system from the perspective of a related set of concerns. It is
    used to describe the system from the viewpoint of different stakeholders such as end-users,
    developers, project managers, and testers.

    4+1 View Model


    The 4+1 View Model was designed by Philippe Kruchten to describe the architecture of a software–
    intensive system based on the use of multiple and concurrent views. It is a multiple view model that
    addresses different features and concerns of the system. It standardizes the software design
    documents and makes the design easy to understand by all stakeholders.

    It is an architecture verification method for studying and documenting software architecture design
    and covers all the aspects of software architecture for all stakeholders. It provides four essential
    views −

    The logical view or conceptual view − It describes the object model of the design.

    The process view − It describes the activities of the system, captures the concurrency and
    synchronization aspects of the design.

    The physical view − It describes the mapping of software onto hardware and reflects its
    distributed aspect.

    The development view − It describes the static organization or structure of the software in
    its development of environment.
    This view model can be extended by adding one more view called scenario view or use case view for
    end-users or customers of software systems. It is coherent with other four views and are utilized to
    illustrate the architecture serving as “plus one” view, (4+1) view model. The following figure describes
    the software architecture using five concurrent views (4+1) model.

    Why is it called 4+1 instead of 5?


    The use case view has a special significance as it details the high level requirement of a system while
    other views details — how those requirements are realized. When all other four views are completed,
    it’s effectively redundant. However, all other views would not be possible without it. The following
    image and table shows the 4+1 view in detail −
