TLDR
Two aspects of using quality attribute information are considered: communicating with stakeholders about quality attributes and incorporating quality attribute requirements into existing analysis and design methods.Abstract:
Quality attribute requirements are important both for customer and end-user satisfaction and for driving software system design. Yet asserting their importance raises many other questions. In particular, using quality attribute information in practice isn't obvious. Here, we consider two aspects of using such information: communicating with stakeholders about quality attributes and incorporating quality attribute requirements into existing analysis and design methods.read more

How do architecture patterns and tactics interact? A model and annotation
Neil B. Harrison,Paris Avgeriou +1 more
TL;DR: A model for the interaction of patterns and tactics is developed that enables software architects to annotate architecture diagrams with information about the tactics used and their impact on the overall structure and its other key contribution is that it explores the larger problem of understanding the relation between strategic decisions and how they need to be tailored in light of more tactical decisions.

A probabilistic software quality model
TL;DR: This research aims at providing a probabilistic approach for computing high-level quality characteristics, which integrate expert knowledge, and deal with ambiguity at the same time, and shows that the quality model values change in accordance with the maintenance activities, and they are in a good correlation with the experts' expectations.
