Preserving Software Quality Characteristics from Requirements Analysis to Architectural Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a pattern-based software development method that preserves usability and security quality characteristics using a role-driven mapping of requirements analysis documents to architectural design artifacts. The quality characteristics usability and security are captured using specialized problem frames, which are patterns that serve to structure, characterize, and analyze a given software development problem. Each problem frame is equipped with a set of appropriate architectural styles and design patterns reflecting usability and security aspects. Instances of these architectural patterns constitute solutions of the initially given software development problem. We illustrate our approach by the example of a chat system.

Preserving the Quality of Architectural Tactics in Source Code
Preserving the Quality of Architectural Tactics in Source Code by Mehdi Mirakhorli In any complex software system, strong interdependencies exist between requirements and software architecture. Requirements drive architectural choices while also being constrained by the existing architecture and by what is economically feasible. This makes it advisable to concurrently specify the requirements, ...

Given the complexity of today’s software systems, Software Architecture is a topic that has recently increased in significance. It is consider as a key element in the design and development of systems and has the ability to promote/punish some quality characteristics. Quality is related mainly to the non-functional requirements expected of the system. Using appropriate methods for Architectural...

Challenges in designing effective groupware include technical issues associated with concurrent and distributed work and social issues associated with supporting group activities. To address some of these problems, we have developed a quality-centered architectural design framework that links requirements analysis to architectural design decisions for groupware systems. The framework supports r...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis Patterns for Requirements Analysis
Many problems might arise when performance requirements are not taken into account from the beginning of software development. Architectural solutions such as performance patterns represent design decisions on the architecture level that might constrain quality requirements significantly. Knowledge which is gained in the solution space, for example from performance patterns, should be reflected...
