Abstract
We propose a method, called PREDIQT, for model based prediction of impact of architecture design changes on system quality. PREDIQT supports simultaneous analysis of several quality attributes and their trade-offs. This paper argues for the feasibility of the PREDIQT method based on a comprehensive industrial case study targeting a system for managing validation of electronic certificates and signatures worldwide. We give an overview of the PREDIQT method, and present an evaluation of the method in terms of a feasibility study.
