Architecture Description Document

An Architecture Description Document (ADD) is a detailed report that outlines how a software system or project is structured. It describes the main components, their relationships, and the technologies used, providing a clear picture of how everything fits together. The purpose is to guide developers, designers, and stakeholders by offering a common understanding of the system’s design, ensuring everyone is aligned and capable of making informed decisions. Essentially, it’s a blueprint that documents the organization and structure of a complex software system before or during its development.
