Systems and methods for standardizing definition of software architectures

A method for standardizing the definition of a software architecture, the method comprising:

• defining a structure of the software architecture and one or more architectural components required for the software architecture using a customizable domain specific language (DSL);
• collating one or more resources using the DSL into a catalogue to define the software architecture, wherein the one or more resources comprise the one or more architectural components, each of the architectural components being customizable based on the defined structure of the software architecture;
• standardizing definitions of the architectural components across a plurality of users;
• configuring one or more implementations of the architectural components;
• and
• facilitating creation of standardized visual representations of the software architecture, wherein each visual representation comprises one or more resources of the catalogue arranged in accordance with the structure of the software architecture.

A system for standardizing the definition of a software architecture, the system comprising:

• a memory storing one or more processor-executable routines;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the one or more processor-executable routines to:
• define a structure and one or more architectural components of the software architecture using a customizable domain specific language (DSL);
• collate one or more resources using the DSL into a catalogue to define the software architecture, wherein the one or more resources are customizable based on the defined structure of the software architecture;
• and
• translate the domain specific language (DSL) to a visual representation to create standardized visual representations of the software architecture, wherein each visual representation comprises one or more resources of the catalogue arranged in accordance with the structure of the software architecture.
