Architecture Level Software Quality Prediction
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a method for prediction of software qualities from the software architecture level using scenarios. The method takes the specification of the architecture as input and generates a prediction of the modified volume for the average maintenance task. The scenarios are used to analyse the architecture and to derive a prediction of the maintainability. The method is based on experiences and ideas from the design of a software architecture for a haemo dialysis machine. This far the method has been designed to incorporate only the prediction of maintainability. However, it is ongoing work to incorporate other common software qualities into the method. Experiments for evaluation and validation of the method are ongoing and future work.

Architecture-Level Modifiability Analysis
Cost, quality and lead-time are three main concerns in software engineering projects. The quality of developed software has traditionally been evaluated on completed systems. Evaluating the product quality at completion introduces a great risk of wasting effort on software products with inadequate system qualities. It is the objective of this thesis to define and study methods for assessment, e...
متن کاملGuiding Transaction Design through Architecture-Level Performance and Data Consistency Prediction
Designing transactional software which operates not only in a timely fashion but also preserves data consistency is challenging. While it is easy to preserve data consistency by choosing a high isolation level, this can quickly become a performance bottleneck due to limited concurrency. Conversely, relaxing the isolation between concurrent transactions may lead to data inconsistencies. Solving ...
متن کاملEvaluating Performance of Component Based System Architecture
Evaluation of architecture aims at the analysis of component system architecture to recognize potential risks of software design before implementation. With this we can achieve reduced costs and improved software quality. Performance analysis at this level can be useful for assessing whether a proposed architecture can meet the desired performance specifications and can help in making key archi...
متن کاملModel-Based Energy Efficiency Analysis of Software Architectures
Design-time quality analysis of software architectures evaluates the impact of design decisions in quality dimensions such as performance. Architectural design decisions decisively impact the energy efficiency (EE) of software systems. Low EE not only results in higher operational cost due to power consumption. It indirectly necessitates additional capacity in the power distribution infrastruct...
متن کاملSREPT: Software Reliability Estimation and Prediction Tool
Several tools have been developed for the estimation of software reliability. However, they are highly specialized in the approaches they implement and the particular phase of the software life-cycle in which they are applicable. There is an increasing need for a tool that can be used to track the quality of a software product during the software development process, right from the architectura...
