Intro

  • ADD takes as input a set of QA scenarios and uses knowledge about relation between quality attribute achievement and architecture in order to design the architecture.
  • ADD is an approach to defining a software architecture that bases the decomposition process on the quality attributes that the software has to fulfill.
  • Recursive decomposition process where at each stage, tactics and architectural patterns are chosen.
  • ADD is started after requirements analysis - where the QA drivers are thought to be well understood.
  • Output of ADD is first levels of module decomposition.
  • System is described as a set of containers for functionality and interactions between them.

Input to ADD

  • Functional requirements - typically expressed as use cases.
  • Quality requirements - must be expressed as system specific quality scenarios.
  • Design constraints.
