Software architecture evolution documentation refers to the process of documenting changes and developments in the architectural design of a software system over time. This documentation helps software engineers and architects understand how the system has evolved, why changes were made, and how the current architecture impacts performance, scalability, maintainability, and other key metrics. It also serves as a roadmap for future improvements and modifications. The documentation may include architectural diagrams, design patterns, code snippets, and other relevant information that captures the evolution of the system's architecture.
