  <mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    The Solution layer, among others, guides how you perform the following actions:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Determine architectural feasibility&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Define and develop architecture&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Design, implement, and test a requirement or change&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Test and validate builds of incrementally improved quality&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    You find the tasks for this layer in the disciplines &lt;b>Architecture, Development,&lt;/b> and&#xD;
    &lt;b>Test&lt;/b>, and the corresponding work products under those domains.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The Solution layer is built upon the foundational &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup/customcategories/collab_commun_layer_A3CDA6EF.html&quot; guid=&quot;_r8cVIEmbEdu0xduwSKie-w&quot;>Communication and collaboration layer&lt;/a>. That layer constitutes the backbone of OpenUP&#xD;
    to ensure that:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        All roles in OpenUP are involved in solution development&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Validated builds are the responsibility of the entire team&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Best practices for collaborative development guide solution development&lt;b>.&lt;/b>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The Solution layer is written in such a way that your organization can modify it to fit your development style,&#xD;
    without necessarily affecting how you deal with the other layers (&lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup/customcategories/management_layer_DF9A1A7F.html&quot; guid=&quot;_Aoz2gEmcEdu0xduwSKie-w&quot;>Management layer&lt;/a>&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup/customcategories/management_layer_DF9A1A7F.html&quot; guid=&quot;_Aoz2gEmcEdu0xduwSKie-w&quot;> &lt;/a>and &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup/customcategories/intent_layer_33C0EF8F.html&quot; guid=&quot;_57_ZMEmbEdu0xduwSKie-w&quot;>Intent layer&lt;/a>).&lt;br />&#xD;
