What is System Architecture Diagram
-
This is an interview question I faced a couple of days back. The person asked me to draw fully the System Architecture of my project, diagaram of how the three layers (since I told him that my project is three layer architecture)are communicating each other etc? Even though I draw something, he replied that didn't clearly depict the architecture. I have the following questions: 1) When we say System Architecture diagram, it shouldn't contain any functionaltiy? Or does it mean that how the system flows from top to bottom? 2) Is this represented through UML or some other ways? 3) How to draw the communication between the three layers? Any help in this regard please? or any good site for the articles? Thanks meeram395

Not really a fair question since your definition of the diagram might be different from his yet no less right or wrong. Systems architecture[^] Read the overview. I'm sure there will be many conflicting opinions over this but, for me, if you can clearly depict and understand the various layers and interactions of the application that should be fine (unless the job was for an architect!). also: Software architecture[^]. Whilst Wiki articles should not be taken as the final authority they can be quit ehelpful.
