| Jan 17, 2017 at 13:28 | history | edited | amon | CC BY-SA 3.0 | edited the question to make it easier to read. I tried to focus it on the main question “how do I document software architecture”, so I removed some distracting technology details. |

| Jan 10, 2017 at 19:25 | comment | added | rbaleksandar | Well, my academic supervisor doesn't have a preference. I'm actually going to discuss this issue with him tomorrow but I want to at least have something to offer instead of bluntly asking "What should I do?". My assumption is that any description will do as long as it doesn't go too deep, shows the core components and gives an idea how it works and how it can be integrated in other projects. | |

Also, if you have an academic supervisor, could you ask them if they have a preference for what they'd want to see? I could give an Answer to this question, but I'm not sure it would fit what you would need to do for the institution that you're doing your thesis with. | |

| Jan 10, 2017 at 13:04 | comment | added | rbaleksandar | LOL That might be true. I'll add what I wrote in the comment section namely that the thesis is done for a company to add a more...practical aspect to my question. | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 13:02 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | My point wasn't that "Master thesis" was the wrong thing to put in. My comment was aimed mostly at the downvoter. :) I feel like people tend to be unfairly harsh towards questions about the academic community instead of business. | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 12:46 | comment | added | rbaleksandar | The thing is that at work there is no template that I can use (I do the thesis for a company). On the other hand a Master thesis has a different format compared to some documentation that you find in the manual of that product. That's why I have specifically also added "Master thesis" because the format (and not only the bullet points) is important. Perhaps I'm wrong about that... | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 12:42 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | If you replace "Master thesis" with "project at work" and it's magically on topic, then this question doesn't deserve a downvote. I think this is a very answerable question, but each bullet point might be good as its own question to help narrow the focus. (I'm not the downvoter, btw) | |
