Software Unit Design

The unit_design rule documents the internal implementation of a single software unit — how its source code is structured, what data flows through it, and how it behaves at the code level. This is distinct from the higher-level architectural design diagrams (see Architectural Design), which describe the intended component structure of the SEooC as a whole.

A unit_design target is referenced by a unit target (see Architectural Design — Implementation Architecture in Bazel) to attach code-level design artefacts to the unit.

unit_design — Code-Level Design Diagrams

The unit_design rule attaches PlantUML diagrams to a unit. It uses the same static / dynamic category split as architectural_design, but scoped to a single unit’s implementation.
