Prototype-based Software Architecture Evaluation — Component Quality Attribute Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The architecture of a software system is crucial since it often affects and limits the quality attributes of the system, e.g., performance and maintainability. In this paper we evaluate three communication components suggested for use in a software architecture using prototype-based evaluation. We evaluate the performance quantitatively, and also present qualitative results on portability and maintainability. Components for both intraand inter-process communication are evaluated and we find that it might be possible to use one third-party component for both intraand inter-process communication, thus replacing two inhouse developed components.

This additional component takes as input a set of composite Web services and a set of evaluation criteria and gene...
متن کاملPrinciples for Evaluating the Quality Attributes of a Software Architecture
Software quality is the degree to which software possesses a desired combination of attributes (e.g., reliability, interoperability). In this paper we describe a few principles for analyzing a software architecture to determine if it exhibits certain quality attributes. We show how analysis techniques indigenous to the various quality attribute communities can provide a foundation for performin...
متن کاملA Quantitative Evaluation of Maintainability of Software Architecture Styles
Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...
