Hi, I am struggeling with the software architecture and the devision between software systems and software items.
We are developing a medical device which consists of multiple parts. Hardware which includes embedded software which measures certain parameters on a patient. This hardware is able to send its data to a server and than the data can be viewed in retrospect in an online data portal. The hardware with its embedded software can be used on its own. The data portal is optional to use for the user. The hardware with its embedded software would be class C and the data portal class A. Can I say that the embedded software and the data portal are both software systems with its own class or should it be one software system and what is then the rationale why these different software items have different classess?
I hope my question is clear.
