The high-level design
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
write an HLD a reviewer can approve in one sitting.
Planned topics
- Sections: purpose and scope, requirements and constraints, context view, container view, key decisions, quality attributes, risks, open questions.
- Show the decisions and their reasons, not the code structure.
- Each quality attribute gets a target and the design element that meets it.
- Keep it to a length a reviewer will actually read; link detail instead of including it.
