Towards Systematic Integration of Quality Requirements into Software Architecture

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 6903))

Abstract

We present a model- and pattern-based approach that allows software engineers to take quality requirements into account right from the beginning of the software development process. The approach comprises requirements analysis as well as the software architecture design, in which quality requirements are reflected explicitly.

Part of this work is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - DFG) under grant number HE3322/4-1.
