Abstract

Teaching software architecture is a challenge. Theoretical concepts are often very abstract and architectural problems are only clearly visible in applications of a certain magnitude. The challenge is even greater when these concepts are taught in the early stages of the bachelor’s degree when the students’ knowledge of design and programming is still limited. To address this challenge, inspired by a proposal carried out at Delft University, we decided to adopt a novel approach: teaching software architecture by analysing, evaluating and documenting the architecture of existing projects hosted on the GitHub platform. To do so, it was necessary to adapt the original method, used in a master course, to the course under study, taught during the second year of the bachelor’s degree. To evaluate this approach we conducted a total of 258 student surveys in two consecutive years. The results of the study, supported by a robust statistical analysis of the data, demonstrate the suitability of this method for teaching software architecture in the first years of the bachelor’s degree.
