Which tool within OutSystems Service Center is used to perform Architecture Validation?

The Architecture Dashboard is the primary tool within OutSystems Service Center designated for Architecture Validation. This dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of the application's architecture, allowing developers and architects to assess compliance with best practices and standards. It helps identify potential issues, such as dependencies that could affect performance or maintainability.

By utilizing the Architecture Dashboard, teams can visualize the structural relationships between different components, ensuring that the application adheres to established patterns and guidelines. This proactive approach aids in maintaining application integrity and facilitates informed decision-making regarding future enhancements or refactoring.

Other tools like LifeTime, Deployment Zone, and Integration Studio serve distinct purposes within the OutSystems ecosystem. LifeTime is focused on managing application versions and deployments across environments, Deployment Zone is oriented towards managing where applications are deployed, and Integration Studio specializes in extending functionality by integrating with external systems. While these tools are important, they do not specifically cater to the needs of architecture validation as the Architecture Dashboard does.
