Complete architectural analysis and requirement traceability improvements:
1. Architecture Review Report (NEW)
- Independent architectural review identifying 15 issues
- 5 critical issues: security (no TLS), buffer inadequacy, performance
bottleneck, missing circuit breaker, inefficient backoff
- 5 major issues: no metrics, no graceful shutdown, missing rate limiting,
no backpressure, low test coverage
- Overall architecture score: 6.5/10
- Recommendation: DO NOT DEPLOY until critical issues resolved
- Detailed analysis with code examples and effort estimates
2. Requirement Refinement Verification (NEW)
- Verified Req-FR-25, Req-NFR-7, Req-NFR-8 refinement status
- Added 12 missing Req-FR-25 references to architecture documents
- Confirmed 24 Req-NFR-7 references (health check endpoint)
- Confirmed 26 Req-NFR-8 references (health check content)
- 100% traceability for all three requirements
3. Architecture Documentation Updates
- system-architecture.md: Added 4 Req-FR-25 references for data transmission
- java-package-structure.md: Added 8 Req-FR-25 references across components
- Updated DataTransmissionService, GrpcStreamPort, GrpcStreamingAdapter,
DataConsumerService with proper requirement annotations
Files changed:
- docs/ARCHITECTURE_REVIEW_REPORT.md (NEW)
- docs/REQUIREMENT_REFINEMENT_VERIFICATION.md (NEW)
- docs/architecture/system-architecture.md (4 additions)
- docs/architecture/java-package-structure.md (8 additions)

Critical Issues - RESOLVED
Status: ✅ ALL CRITICAL ISSUES RESOLVED
Date Resolved: 2025-11-19
Issue 1: Buffer Size Conflict ✅ RESOLVED
Original Issue
- Req-FR-26 stated: "max 300 messages"
- Configuration Spec stated: "max_messages: 300000"
- Impact: 1000x difference affecting memory and system behavior
Resolution
Stakeholder Decision: Buffer size confirmed as 300 messages
Changes Made
-
✅ Updated
requirements/HSP_Configuration_File_Specification.mdline 31:- Changed:
"max_messages": 300000 - To:
"max_messages": 300
- Changed:
-
✅ Requirement confirmed:
- Req-FR-26: "If gRPC transmission fails, HSP shall buffer collected data in memory (max 300 messages)."
Impact Assessment
- Memory Usage: With 300 messages max @ ~1MB each = ~300MB max buffer
- System Behavior: FIFO overflow with 300 message capacity
- Architecture: No changes needed, designed for this capacity
- Status: Consistent across all documentation
Issue 2: Duplicate Requirement IDs ✅ RESOLVED
Original Issues
2.1 Req-FR-25 (Duplicate)
- Line 66: "HSP shall then send the collected and aggregated data to the CollectorSender Core as decribed below."
- Line 67: "If gRPC transmission fails, HSP shall buffer collected data in memory (max 300 messages)."
Resolution: Renumbered line 67 and subsequent requirements
- Line 67: Now Req-FR-26 (buffer 300 messages)
- Line 68: Now Req-FR-27 (discard oldest) - was Req-FR-26
- Lines 70-75: Renumbered Req-FR-28 through Req-FR-33
2.2 Testing Requirements (Req-NFR-7, Req-NFR-8 duplicates)
- Lines 117-118: Duplicate Req-NFR-7 and Req-NFR-8 in Testing Requirements section
- Lines 119-120: Req-NFR-9 and Req-NFR-10 also in Testing section
Resolution: Created new Testing Requirements category
- Req-Test-1: Integration tests shall verify HTTP collection with a mock HTTP server
- Req-Test-2: Integration tests shall verify gRPC transmission with a mock gRPC server
- Req-Test-3: Tests shall use JUnit 5 and Mockito frameworks
- Req-Test-4: All tests shall be executable via 'mvn test' command
2.3 User Stories (Req-US-1 triplicate)
- Lines 126-128: All three user stories labeled as Req-US-1
Resolution: Renumbered user stories
- Req-US-1: System operator story (automatic data collection)
- Req-US-2: Data analyst story (reliable gRPC transmission)
- Req-US-3: System administrator story (health check monitoring)
Updated Requirement Count
Before Fix
- Architecture: 8
- Functional: 32 (with 1 duplicate)
- Non-Functional: 10 (with 2 duplicates in Testing)
- Normative: 6
- Testing: 0
- User Stories: 3 (all labeled Req-US-1)
- Total: 57 (with 4 duplicate IDs)
After Fix ✅

- Functional: 33 (Req-FR-1 to 33) - increased by 1
- Non-Functional: 8 (Req-NFR-1 to 8) - reduced by 2
- Normative: 6 (Req-Norm-1 to 6)
- Testing: 4 (Req-Test-1 to 4) - NEW category
- User Stories: 3 (Req-US-1 to 3) - properly numbered
- Total: 62 unique requirements (no duplicates)
