软件体系结构评估方法的研究

Research on Software Architecture Evaluation Methods

体系结构评估是软件开发中的一项重要工作 ,目的是分析体系结构潜在的风险 ,并检验设计中提出的质量属性需求。介绍并讨论了有代表性的三种评估方法 :SAAM ,ATAM ,ALPSM ,在此基础上提出一个概念上的比较框架来分析这些评估方法的相似与差异 ,并进一步对方法的结合、重用 。

The architecture evaluation of a software system has become more and more important to guarantee the final quality of the system.The purpose of evaluation is to identify the potential risks of the architecture and to verify the quality requirements addressed in the design.This paper presents three mature evaluation methods (SAAM,ATAM,ALPSM) firstly,then compare them in a conceptive framework to find the similarities and differences between these three methods.In the last discusses the combination of multiple methods,the reuse in evaluating the architecture,the introduction of evaluation to design and use in practice.
