TLDR
This work presents an ontology that supports the reuse of quality criteria in the input stage of software product audits and shows that the same quality criteria can be applied to different software products.Abstract:
Software product audits are knowledge-intensive tasks in which architectural knowledge plays a pivotal role. In the input stage of a software product audit, quality criteria are selected to which the software product should conform. These quality criteria resemble architectural tactics and can be viewed as a definition of the Soll-architecture of the product. Like tactics, the same quality criteria can be applied to different software products. However, there are currently no models that support the codification of quality criteria as reusable assets. In this work, we present an ontology that supports the reuse of quality criteria in the input stage of software product audits.read more

Controversy Corner: On the similarity between requirements and architecture
Remco C. de Boer,Hans van Vliet +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that there is no fundamental distinction between architectural decisions and architecturally significant requirements and this new view on the intrinsic relation between architecture and requirements allows us to identify areas in which closer cooperation between the Architecture and requirements engineering communities would bring advantages for both.
