software design specification

Question

Can anyone explain what is an architecture(in detail) in Technical specification documentation.

Does it mean 2 tier or 3 tier architecture if we are using client-server architecture or we does it mean 3 layers implementation as user interface, presentation layer, business logic layer. What we should draw if in case interviewer asks us to draw architecture of our project.

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

It should define how many layers there are to the application, what components should live in each of the layers, how each layer is supposed to interact with the others and where each layer will live physically.

...at least those are the details that I usually add to mine and have seen added by others to their diagrams.
