2.1.5 Re-Use Assessment

The purpose of this section is to highlight any re-usable aspects of the architecture. If there are re-usable aspects, in terms of quality criteria, this section should make clear: • Drivers for re-use in different business areas • Any re-usable artifacts that have been used to help define the architecture • Any re-usable artifacts that can be derived from the architecture • Extensions to existing artifacts in order to make them re-usable • Any non-usage of re-usable artifacts and the reasons why • Deployment options for re-use which an indication of priorities • Any assumptions regarding re-usability Use of Existing Components Brief summary of how the solution architecture proposes to re-use existing components (if any). Include re-use of licenses, infrastructure, support services (e.g., DR) as well as software components. Opportunities for Re-Use Summarize those components that have been designed for re-use.
