A domain is used to group different artifacts by their specific area within a system. This helps organize requirements, test cases, issues, and other artifacts, and provides analytics based on these domain areas.
In Almware, a domain is a classification method that organizes artifacts based on their area within the system. It's optional and may not be necessary for small projects where such classification isn't needed.
Domains are defined at the start, before describing requirements. As work progresses, domain areas can be adjusted or new ones can be added.
Domain areas can be structured like a tree, but it's recommended to keep it to no more than 2 levels for simplicity.
Domain areas can have a tree structure, but for convenience we do not recommend using more than 2 levels.
Examples of domain areas for a marketplace:
