The award-winning and highly influential Software Architecture in Practice, Third Edition, has been substantially revised to reflect the latest developments in the field. In a real-world setting, the book once again introduces the concepts and best practices of software architecture—how a software system is structured and how that system’s elements are meant to interact. Distinct from the details of implementation, algorithm, and data representation, an architecture holds the key to achieving system quality, is a reusable asset that can be applied to subsequent systems, and is crucial to a software organization’s business strategy.
The authors have structured this edition around the concept of architecture influence cycles. Each cycle shows how architecture influences, and is influenced by, a particular context in which architecture plays a critical role. Contexts include technical environment, the life cycle of a project, an organization’s business profile, and the architect’s professional practices. The authors also have greatly expanded their treatment of quality attributes, which remain central to their architecture philosophy—with an entire chapter devoted to each attribute—and broadened their treatment of architectural patterns.
If you design, develop, or manage large software systems (or plan to do so), you will find this book to be a valuable resource for getting up to speed on the state of the art.
Totally new material covers
Contexts of software architecture: technical, project, business, and professional
Architecture competence: what this means both for individuals and organizations
The origins of business goals and how this affects architecture
Architecturally significant requirements, and how to determine them
Architecture in the life cycle, including generate-and-test as a design philosophy; architecture conformance during implementation; architecture and testing; and architecture and agile development
Architecture and current technologies, such as the cloud, social networks, and end-user devices

It was hard to imagine this book getter any better than it already was. I guess that was because I never expected so many changes. This is the most I have ever seen a new edition of a book change. If you own the second edition, you will definitely want this new one. It is almost like another book.
The big case studies are gone. They have been replaced with a ton of new material. If you don't own the first and second editions of the book, you can get the case studies on the publisher's web site.

As a software designer and engineer for over 1/4 century, I am always on the look-out for a process which claims to separate high-quality from low-quality. Software is not a tangible, 3-dimensional, manufactured product, but software has "quality". Initially someone at work started pushing this new "quality" rating methodology for software......distributed or centralized.
I have dedicated the last several years to wrestling with "quality".....everywhere in my life but particularly at work with software. When I heard "Architecture Quality Attributes" I was intrigued and bought the book. Each AQA is broken down into Concerns and Common Tactics. Thinking back over the last 1/4 century....they all rang true. Quality in technical design and quality in technical management all come together here. Buy this book.
My only peeve......why such a half-hearted writeup Probabilty Statistics, Fault-tree Analysis, and FMEA ? There is a dis-organized and scattered treatment through out the book. Page 84 (3rd edition) discusses AND gates, OR gates, etc etc...and then statistics shows up again from pages 255 - 259. In today's distributed environment, probability statistics is very revealing. The more components bolted together to create a network, the more OR-gates you have that could fail and make your network inoperable. This is the Achilles heel of distributed environments.
Ironically, that entire concept is hidden from the reader of this book. Even on page 256, at the very bottom, the authors give a formula for "probability of failure". In fact, the formula is EXACTLY WRONG !! The formula shown is the formula for "probability of success". ( probabilty of failure + probability of success = 1 ). Oh well.
