4+1 View Architecture in Rational Unified Process

In Rational Unified Process (RUP), the 4+1 View Architecture is a method of organizing a software system's architecture description using five concurrent, connected views:

  1. Logical View: Describes the functionality that the system provides to end-users. It focuses on the logical structure of the software and the core logic behind how the system functions.

  2. Development View: Concentrates on the software development organization and how the software is built. It includes components, their dependencies, and how they are implemented.

  3. Process View: Illustrates the dynamic aspects of the system, focusing on the process sequences and interactions among software components. It emphasizes the runtime behavior of the system.

  4. Physical View: Describes the physical architecture of the system, including the deployment of software components on hardware, networks, and other physical resources.

  5. Scenarios (Use Cases) View: Presents a set of use cases, or scenarios, which describe how users interact with the system to achieve specific goals. This view provides a user-centric perspective on the system.

By utilizing these five views in conjunction, the 4+1 View Architecture in RUP allows stakeholders to understand, communicate, and manage the complexity of a software system more effectively.
