In Software Engineering, a software project is a preliminary effort to create all **functionality which attends requirements, the back-end and front-end of the software, and how all of this is connected. This structure is the architecture of the software.

What is it?

The architecture represents the data structure and all components necessary to build an operational project. It’s not the software itself, but an abstraction used to structure the way that the software works. It’s in itself, the structure and blueprint of the software.
