1 .
Creating a pattern catalog involves systematic documentation and organization of patterns that can be easily referenced and utilized by developers and architects. Search on the Web for the steps to create a corresponding pattern catalog.
2 .
Search on the Web for blueprints catalog for a web application framework of your choice (e.g., Flask, Django, React). Identify a comprehensive set of criteria that would be useful to provide a more comprehensive way to catalog blueprints.
3 .
Use the Internet to investigate the use of the Essential EA tool on an enterprise architecture project. Demonstrate how you would use the tool to support all the facets of EAM.
4 .
Investigate the use of software development IDEs that provide round-trip engineering capabilities and allow the management of implementation patterns as part of the software engineering construction activity (e.g., IBM Software Architect). Compare the various tools available and implement a sample application that leverages the use of round-trip engineering and the use of implementation patterns. How do these tools integrate with EAFs?
