Zhodnocení architektury systému pro správu softwarového prostředí

The bachelor's thesis deals with the evaluation of the architecture of a system for managing and configuring a software environment using the ATAM methodology (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method). The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the current state of the system architecture using the ATAM methodology. The QAW (Quality Attribute Workshop) method was used as a preparatory tool for identifying the business and technical context and input analysis, the outputs of which served as input for the ATAM analysis itself. The thesis describes the system architecture, characterizes its infrastructure, backend, frontend and metadata-driven approach to rendering the user interface. The analysis of nine specific situations capturing real requirements and threats identified key compromises, advantages and risks of the architecture. The main finding is that although the architecture generally successfully meets primary business goals, it does so at the cost of critical security vulnerabilities and the absence of key protection mechanisms. Based on the identified shortcomings, the thesis proposes specific measures leading to their elimination. The results of the work serve not only as an independent audit of the developed system, but also as a general warning against architectural compromises that arise in the pursuit of maximum user interface dynamics. The work also demonstrates that the ATAM methodology is highly beneficial even outside its traditional context of large-scale critical projects and finds application in the evaluation of common commercial architectures.
