Having covered implementation and operations broadly, let’s see what other considerations have been captured under Design for X.
One way to think about the universe of Design for X is in terms of the following list of “ilities,” or attributes of the system that are related to its implementation and operations. The list of 15 “ilities” shown in Figure ...
