Excellent cheat sheet of NFRs and Architecture Characteristics of typical large-scale software systems. A reasonably large-scale software system must implement all or subset of these architecture characteristics.

These top 10 Architectural Characteristics covers most of the aspect of a large-scale project.

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: The ability for the system to perform and operate as the number of users or requests increases.

𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Percentage of uptime and defines the proportion of time that a system is functional and working

𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Measures the ability to extend a system and the effort required to implement the extension

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Guarantees that every read returns the most recent write. This means that after the execution of every operation, the data is consistent across all the nodes, and thus all clients see the same data at the same time, no matter which node they connect to.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Capability of a system to gracefully handle and recover from accidental and malicious failures.

𝗨𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Described as the capacity of a system to provide a condition for its users to perform the tasks safely, effectively, and efficiently while enjoying the experience.

𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Ability to collect data about program execution, internal states of modules, and communication between components.

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: Degree the software protects information and data so that people or other products or systems have the degree of data access appropriate to their types and levels of authorization.

𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Ability of software’s serviceability and meet users’ needs for a relatively long time.

𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Indicates the easiness of a development team to understand and maintain an application.
