Toward Team-Oriented Measures
In this chapter we climbed the abstraction ladder and analyzed the evolution of complete subsystems. Since the principles for hotspots and complexity trends are orthogonal to the data they operate on, we get to use the same concepts on all levels of detail, be it architectural components, files, or functions. This means you now have the techniques to make sense of a codebase, no matter the scale and size of it.
The way you slice and dice your architectural boundaries varies depending on your architectural style.
