From Requirements to Architecture: Semi-Automatically Generating Software Architectures

Software Engineering 2025-05-27 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

To support junior and senior architects, I propose developing a new architecture creation method that leverages LLMs' evolving capabilities to support the architect. This method involves the architect's close collaboration with LLM-fueled tooling over the whole process. The architect is guided through Domain Model creation, Use Case specification, architectural decisions, and architecture evaluation. While the architect can take complete control of the process and the results, and use the tooling as a building set, they can follow the intended process for maximum tooling support. The preliminary results suggest the feasibility of this process and indicate major time savings for the architect.
