Architecture Governance with Fitness Functions (ChatGPT Demo)

To accelerate the architecture decision making process, we've got to establish a safety net of architecture governance to give us the confidence that the architecture quality of our systems doesn't drift. This not only necessitates gaining a deep understanding of the required functional behaviors and architecture characteristics, but it also demands that we define the nonfunctional requirements to which we apply the most important architecture qualities, fitness functions to test those nonfunctional requirements, automated tests to enable iterative testing, and tools to run the tests.

For many, this is simply too abstract to be actionable, so, in this video, I use ChatGPT to illustrate, in minutes, how straightforward architecture governance can be. Seeing is believing. 😎
