Software architecture testing is a type of testing that focuses on verifying and validating the design and characteristics of a software architecture. It aims to ensure that the architecture satisfies functional and non-functional requirements such as performance, scalability, maintainability, and security. Testing at the architecture level is typically performed early in the software development life cycle, before detailed implementation begins. This helps to identify architectural problems and ensure that the software meets the desired quality standards. The tests may include checking the compliance of the architecture with the relevant design principles, testing its resilience to performance or security concerns, and verifying its scalability.
