The Presence and the State-of-Practice of Software Architects in the Brazilian Industry – A Survey
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Context: Software architecture intensely impacts the software quality.
Therefore, the professional assigned to carry out the design, maintenance and
evolution of architectures needs to have certain knowledge and skills in order
not to compromise the resulting application. Objective: The aim of this work is
to understand the characteristics of the companies regarding the presence or
absence of software architects in Brazil. Method: This work uses the Survey
research as a means to collect evidence from professionals with the software
architect profile, besides descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to
analyze the results. Results: The study collected data from 105 professionals
distributed in 24 Brazilian states. Results reveal that (i) not all companies
have a software architect, (ii) in some cases, other professionals perform the
activities of a software architect and (iii) there are companies that, even
having a software architecture professional, have other roles also performing
the duties of such a professional. Conclusions: Professionals hired as software
architects have higher salaries than those hired in other roles that carry out
such activity, although many of those other professionals still have duties
that are typical of software architects.
