|
Architecture analysis and design methods such as ATAM, QAW, ADD and CBAM have enjoyed modest success in
recent years and are being adopted by many companies as part of their standard software development processes.
They are used in the software lifecycle, as a means of understanding business goals and stakeholder concerns,
mapping these onto an architectural representation, and assessing the risks associated with this mapping. These
methods have evolved a set of shared component techniques. In this talk I will show how these techniques can be
combined in countless ways to create needs-specific methods. I will demonstrate the generality of these techniques
by describing a new architecture improvement method called APTIA (Analytic Principles and Tools for the
Improvement of Architectures). APTIA almost entirely reuses pre-existing techniques but in a new combination,
with new goals and results. Lastly, I will exemplify APTIA’s use in improving the architecture of a commercial
information system.
