Software architecture documentation is a very important procedure supporting the
maintenance process for the application developed (Cho et al., 2019). The architecture
view is defined by ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017 as a “work product expressing the
architecture of a system from the perspective of specific system concerns” (Hagar, 2022).
4+1 view model organizes a software architecture in five concurrent views: logical view,
process view, development view, physical view, and scenarios. The logical view
describes the high-level components of the architecture in terms of the functional
components as it pertains to the end-user (Kavakli et al., 2018). The physical view
portrays the application as it relates to the software components as well as the physical
connections between these components (Kavakli et al., 2018). The scenario view
presents the functional requirements of the application in the form of use cases (Gasca-
Hurtado et al., 2021). The development view presents the application from the standpoint
of the programmer. The process view which is normally presented using sequence,
communication, and activity diagrams focuses on the run-time behavior of the
application.
Software architecture views make it easier to identify the requirements and scope of the
application by providing visual models (Koc et al., 2021). Software architecture is
intangible and abstract (Schreiber et al., 2019). Therefore, visualization of the
architecture will aid in its comprehension to ensure that it is developed to satisfy the
requirements. We can agree that the bible is the software architecture document (SDA)
written by God the divine developer. The bible is so designed to provide Christians with
the tools to develop their faith. Therefore, we can agree that Faith in God is one of many
functional requirements of the bible.
The bible is replete with views that will help Christians implement the teachings of God
into their lives and hence increase their faith. At a high level, the bible provides a logical
view of what faith in God entails with the following passages: “Trust in the Lord with all
your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
him, and he will make straight your paths.” (English Standard Version, 2020, Proverbs
3:5-6), “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” (English Standard Version, 2020, 2
Corinthians 5:7), and “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not
your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
(English Standard Version, 2020, 2 Ephesians 2:8-9).
We can agree that like software architecture the biblical faith is abstract and hence it
requires visualizations to help each Christian to better understand this requirement of
divine application. The bible uses scenarios to provide Christians with a better
understanding of what Faith in God entails. The following passages will portray how the
bible uses the scenario view to better present the biblical architecture to its
reader: Because the king's order was urgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of “
the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And these
three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the burning fiery
furnace. Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared
to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” They answered and
