The dqualizer project enables domain-driven runtime quality analysis (RQA) of software systems by leveraging Domain Driven Design techniques. In particular, dqualizer focuses on domain-driven monitoring, load testing, and resilience testing. For more information, please visit our website.
The dqualizer approach consists of six components with different responsibilities:
| Component | Short Description |
|---|---|
| dqualizer | The main repository contains elements that are related to all components, e.g., documentation. |
| dqanalyzer | The dqanalyzer component enables domain experts to specify and perform RQA without profound knowledge of the underlying technical infrastructure and analysis tools. |
| dqcockpit | Dqcockpit is a dashboard visualizing the results of executed RQAs. |
| dqedit | The dqedit component is the editor for the mapping necessary to translate domain questions / RQA definitions to technical RQA configurations. |
| dqtranslator | Dqtranslator maps (domain) RQA definitions to technical RQA configurations that can be executed by dqexec. It also maps the technical results back to the domain level. |
| dqexec | The dqexec component executes the RQA configuration by utilizing state-of-the-art monitoring, load testing, and resilience testing tooling. |
| dqlang | The dqlang is a collection of languages utilized by dqualizer e.g., the DST extension for domain-level RQA specification or the language for defining mappings in dqedit. |
| dqapi | The dqapi is a REST Api, which is responsible to execute CRUD Operations on different dqualizer artifacts. It is used to manage RQAs and DAMs in the mongoDB. |
For a detailed description of the architecture, we refer to our arc42 document.
