Checkpoints: Architectural Analysis

Is subsystem and package partitioning and layering done in a logically consistent way?
Have the necessary analysis mechanisms been identified?

Have the services (interfaces) of the subsystems in upper-level layers been defined in a comprehensive way?
Do the import dependencies correspond to the relationships between the contained classes?
Do the classes contained in a subsystem belong there according to the services identified for the subsystem?

Have the key entity classes and their relationships been identified and accurately modeled?
Does the name of each class clearly reflect the role it plays?
Have the entity classes been mapped to the necessary analysis mechanisms?
Do the role names of the aggregations and associations accurately describe the relationship?
Are the multiplicities of the relationships correct?
Are the key entity classes and their relationships consistent with the business model, domain model, requirements, glossary, etc.?
